Just for future searchers of this list, John Miller has reported (in another thread) that wrapping the 2 dataScrollers + 1 dataTable within "another JSF component" has resolved the issue with having "forward references" from the dataScroller component to the dataTable component. Presumably that "other component" is a panelGroup or similar component that renders its children.
