I must check this out. My understanding is that getAttr returns a function object that happens to be a method of that object. I can then invoke that function as if I was invoking the method of that object. What I don't know is: will the function work in a scope where the object is not defined? And even if it does, what happens to the names that refer to the containeR or containeD objects? I've read what I could in the manual about the data model, scope and namespaces but as you can probably see there still are things I do not fully comprehend. I feel a bit like seeing the dots but not quite being able to make the connections between them just yet. Thanks for your help though! This is providing me with a few ideas for some more tests to do.
