The reason is simple. I know two cases where a module has some internal state. The first one is the case of Mozart internal modules (like DP), and those use some tricks to not be applied twice. The other case is a regular application module. But in that case, I unconsciously design my application to avoid linking such a module twice. Mozart sort of encourages good design ;-) Anyway, I am not against adding a "permanent" module manager besides Module.link. Cheers, raph
