In my own Mason app, I had the root autohandler inherit from another component, init.mas (and init.mas obviously had to explicitly be set not to inherit from anything). The autohandler dealt with the basic HTML skeleton, but init.mas dealt with checking user logins etc. That way, some basic init stuff could be done even when serving other files, if the component set init.mas to be the component it inherited from (instead of the usual chain of autohandlers). The only case in which this method wouldn't work, is if a component sometimes produced HTML, and sometimes produced something else. I think this would probably mean that the app was badly designed though. -Oli
