I'm also interested in this.

In my application I also have a related issue where I would use a BXML (or 
BJSON) file to create a graph of context objects where each context object is 
basically a container for a number of maps. I'd like to be able to include 
references to JSON files that contain key-value pairs that are then dumped into 
a given map in one of the context objects.

Then I need to swap key-values from any number of alternate JSON files in/out 
of a given map in a context object. Likely BXML (or BJSON) would not be 
required for this because the graph of context object does not need to be 
rebuilt, only the key-values in given maps need to be swapped or have 
additional key-values added them.
