That was not my intension but a solution to JBEHAVE-921 as i had
understand it a few days ago. But i think i missed the intenssion of
JBEHAVE-921.

My idea was to have DI-Scopes at the Scenario- and Story-Levels. So
that i can test a system, that is Guice-enabled, more easily with
jbehave. I don't have trouble with shared mutable state between
Step-Instances, as Barrie McGuire in JBEHAVE-921, but i need to manage
"reset of state" at story- and scenarion-level for my instances more
easily. Normally these instances are in SINGLETON-Scope in the real
application, .

The question i have is, what is with other DI containers? Do they also
have Scopes?
What would be the procedure to bring such new concepts to jbehave if
it could be implemented for all supported DI-containers?

Ok. I also think that's the best way to unterstand it. So here is my usecase:
I ran into same problem while I created test cases for a guice-enabled
application.
I got multiple step-instances that need to share state to implement
the teststeps.
So i created the step-instances with Guice(that was before i detected
jbehave-guice)
and let inject my system under test to the step-instances.
But i run into problems at Scenario and Story-Boundaries, Where i need to reset
my system-state. So i started to implement Scenario-Scope with Guice.
Hope that help to understand my requirement. It has nothing to do with
JBEHAVE-921.
