What you are missing is that I want the function element of door-man (speak)
to call a global function defined outside of the object to perform the
functionality. Otherwise, how the object gets defined (either through make
object! or a template object) doesn't really matter.

May be I'm missing something crucial, but wouldn't this be simpler:
Person: [
vocab1: string!
vocab2: string!
speak: func [] [
print [vocab1 vocab2]
]
]
Extend: func [Base [block!] Extension [block!]] [
append copy/deep Base Extension
]
door-man: make object! Extend Person [
vocab1: "hello"
vocab2: "world"
]
door-man/speak
I'm sure that I must be missing something important. Can you let me know
what it is, please?
