I've found the cross-inheritence to be extremely usefull in my experience.
It has allowed us to focus our changes on the scope we need. If we want to
affect all windows we make it in pfc_w_master. But if we only a specific type
we change it in pfc_w_sheet. etc etc . I'm not Mr. code guru but I felt it
gave us the ability to control our application changes at the appropriate level
with minimal impact where we didnt want it.
Just my two cents and maybe worth less.

It's where I get lost in my cube and bitch about my code not working for four
days. In the end my boss makes me stand in the corner.

Subject: RE: PFCSIG PFC Architecture
Ok, for the people who have replied to this.
I am not suggesting no pfe layer. I do actually use it and like the
functionality it provides. What I do take issue with is the
cross-inheritence between layers - the base windows are a perfect
example. That is what my meaning was in the first place, don't think I
explained myself very well.
