Hi again, As it turns out, the gadgets specification is ambiguous when it comes to this behavior, so it may or may not work depending on the container. In iGoogle production, it will not work. In iGoogle sandbox and orkut, it will work. And, to further complicate matters, the method of concatenation supported by iGoogle and orkut is incompatible, in some instances when using unreleased features such as proxied content. Therefore, it's likely that the implementation will change, and it might not work anywhere.
I would recommend using a single definition of each view for guaranteed behavior.
