        Well, I know we don't change container implementations all that
        often :) so perhaps this is a bit academic - but this was what I was 
        hoping to avoid. It could also be that the inheritance method
        currently used now is not possible with a future container.

        Delegation would be good - then we'd be operating through the
        ComponentManager (or ServiceManager or similar) interface right ?
        
        Not sure if I fully understand your last sentence though mate - do
        mean it's not possible to change containers in Cocoon at all due
        to some other reasons ?
        
        Cheers,
