Thanks Nathan.. Hmmm I think that could get messy, if we grow in the number of sites for the instance. I think we might have to just resort to explicitly naming the app path in the extends parameter, and using ant to go through and replace it accordingly for each site. I was hoping to find some generic type way of doing to service our clients with a single codebase. I guess it all goes back to the idea of relative/dynamic extension of components which from what I gather isn't possible at all being a compile time issue vs run-time. J
