Another choice would be to place an object in the context that exposed all the services. Ideally any block that needed this object would declare a dependency on it and could then use it to expose all needed stuff. However another option would be to allow declaration of untyped services. Essentially the service could accept "services" of any type and not enforce any particular work interface. This sorta sounds like a good way to go but I am not sure if I like the notion of un-typed "services" -- Cheers, Peter Donald ----------------------------------------------- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein ----------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
