MorphicFlowContainerAdapter, this one sounds cool :)
But you could also notice that I suck at picking names, so :P

This seems correct :)

I opened a case in fogbugz [1], where I think things are in place :P
Then you could fix the method flowComposed on MorphicContainerAdapter to make 
it do what you want :P

I used this snippet as test:

l := SpecLayout flowComposed.
l add: #listModel.
l add: #listModel.
l add: #listModel.
l add: #listModel.
l add: #listModel.
l add: #listModel.

MessageBrowser new openWithSpecLayout: l
