Tim, Thanks for your e-mail!

Several proposals have been floated to implement this feature into libgeda (the .so which underlies the various tools). In fact, some of the developers in the UK have presented UML drawing showing a new scheme for libgeda's data structures which would support this type of hierarchy. > I've spent the last two weeks trying to add this feature, but it is not easy > :( does g-EDA already have this feature? I'll convert my schematics, if > so. Don't convert your schematics yet. However, if you talk nicely to the UK Peters, they might be interested in joining forces with you and implementing some of their proposed ideas. Personally, I'd welcome that!
