However, in the case of beamer, that is -- as the document class -- loaded first. I think, for the actual beamer problem, the proposed solution is sufficient. For later, I'd propose to add a method to LaTeXFeatures.C that takes care of all options and passes them to the corresponding packages with \PassOptionsToPackage (at the moment, we have lots of packages calls which pass the options as optional arguments). Those macros will all be written immediately after \documentclass. We could combine it with \ProvidesPackage. When a documentclass already loads a package, we could then pass the options directly to the documentclass. Does this make sense? Jürgen
