All I have to do is drop it in. I don't even have to tell the
parent. I'm basically using the same technique as you described,
except that I don't bother with circuits.cfm. I don't think it's
necessary.

Very well stated! I've been trying to make that point, but just
couldn't figure out how to explain it.

Yes, but it's not about personal preferences. It started out as
me just trying to grok the whole nesting thing. Now it's more
about bouncing an idea off you guys. I want to see if you can
punch some holes through it and help me figure out if it's worth
working into my local standard. And I'd be willing to bet if I
decide it's worth working into my standard, a lot of other
people will find it useful too. If not, that's cool too. That's
how it's supposed to work. :)
