And what does that have to do with this issue? It's completely independent of 
pcb (the program): any multi-sheet project targeted at a Printed Circuit Board 
(PCB) will run into this. The example I posted of a working approach drove the 
creation of a Calay netlist, but it could have gone to pcb just as well.

I perhaps misunderstood the problem: it had to do with the ":1" inflection, 
apparently. My style of using busses for interconnection at the same level 
doesn't run into this.
