That has been my experience. If there is another way, it'd be really
useful if someone could write a reference implementation, because
picking apart other people's plug-ins (or multiple interdependent
plugins) for generic techniques like this isn't easy.

Can someone double check me? Just reading the code and it looks like a
plugin *cannot* add multiple subrecord types. Specifically, the
initializer
(https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/frontend/config/initializers/plugin.rb)
reads one config.yml file which (since its yaml) precludes duplicate
key names and hence multiple subrecord types. While I could patch
this, there are other places where the config.yml keys are used that
would also need to be patched and I'm not sure how far that patching
would extend.
If I'm right about no multiple subrecords in one plugin, guess it'll
be a separate plugin with a depends_on_plugins entry in the config.yml
since I'll be referencing a controlled value list created by another
plugin and I don't want to maintain two cv lists that are duplicates.
Its a bummer since the subrecords are intellectually (though not
structurally) related.
Thanks!
