I'm going to let the manner in which you like to use objects
pass. Let's just say I've been making notes for my book,
but I promise not to include real names. :-)

But let me just quote the Coyote Rule for Grouping
Program Modules:

"Think of file groupings as *commands*. All the
program modules that make up a single IDL command
go in a single file, with the last module in the
file having the "name" of the command. If you
plan to call any other module in the file anywhere
outside the confines of the program modules already
in the file, then that program module should be yanked
out of that file by the short hairs and placed in its
own file and named accordingly. To do otherwise is to
risk complications when you can least afford them.
Namely all manner of hell is likely to break loose."

Cheers,

David

P.S. I hope we don't even get into the Object Confessional
mode around here. I would be embarrassed to admit to some
of the strange things I thought about objects when I first
started using them. Talk about some truly ugly programs...
