The more I looked at it, the more I realized that all of that logic was just a mechanism to get around the fact that the old ::REQUIRES mechanism was reloading the referenced source file in each program that had a ::REQUIRES for the named file. The OODIALOG classes used another hack to force the OODIALOG *.cls files from getting loaded more than once, but that hack also required that all of the classes and routines be essentially made global.
I scrapped that entire mechanism and replaced it with the new PackageManager, which allows all programs in the interpreter to share a single instance of a referenced ::requires file. As long as all of the programs indicate they required the file, they'll pick up access to the included classes and routines.
