Aaaah. I still have a problem. I can't seem to use components in my
sub-classed component. For example, if I have the following:
class RedComponent extends ColorComponent
{
var $components = array('Session', 'Flickr');

I think I have it worked out.
The following example allows me to load sub-classed Components on the
fly and use them as if they were a "parent class" instance. Note that
components are loaded in the controller through this static command:
ColorComponent::create($this, 'Red');

through the "parent" class or "inte
