> I see what you mean, but I disagree. I would definitely avoid adding states like this to an object. I found it already quite a task to decipher in what state can we reach each of the member functions. How about either of these options: > 1. I can make the FlowController a state machine with well defined transitions between states > 2. I can add checks to the `start` method that ensure that the members set in `load` are indeed set. I don't really understand what you mean by making `FlowController` a state machine or checking members, but in either case, if you can make it hard or impossible to use `FlowController` incorrectly, that would be a big plus in my opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
