It is possible to do that. component A { uses Interface Timer[uint8_t id]; ... .... }
components A; components TimerC; A.Timer -> TimerC; And then you can use " call Timer[0].start " But TimerC is also used by other components. It will cause some problem. So you had better not to do it in that way. Just like daniel mentioned, It is incorrect to use " interface Timer Ack[4];" in tinyos.
