I have noticed that inner does not work for roles and, from what I can tell, on purpose. Why is a role an unsuitable application of the inner/augment paradigm? I've been using roles primarily to predefine general functionality with classes being able to customize it, and providing required methods/attributes to enable the role to do its job. Inner/augment fits neatly into this scheme. Or am I doing something wrong? Kate
