Hi David, I can't find anything wrong in RIFE at a quick cursory scan, so I'll have to investigate. Can you please make sure that you don't process the embedded elements explicitly in your Home element implementation. If you do so, make sure that you process the login box before the role chooser.
I'll try to trace possible problems later today, but I can't promise anything as I'm leaving for TSSJS tomorrow morning and still have a lot to take care of before.
