In the current code, it is done this way. Any 'use' directive overwrites the previous one without being interpreted. > if I understand well, "use" is handled specially at read > time, right ? No. Another reason why it cannot be handled at read time is that the current syntax allows to "use" a template even if it is defined later in the same file or in another. One way to allow multiple template uses in an object could be to replace the 'template' field in xodtemplate objects by a template linked list and modify the code in the xodtemplate_resolve_<object>() functions to apply missing properties from this template list. But, before doing that, we should extend the template syntax to include more template combination options. </BODY> </HTML>
