Thinking on it a second time, I think that the introduction of Commons Chain could be done in a Tiles 3.0 version, so we can use the chain in every aspect of the process. IMO I see currently Tiles 2.1 as Tiles 2.0 with more features. Introducing Chain will change how definitions are got and used. Antonio
