Sorry to answer my own message, but I finally actually paid attention  
to the details :-)

I was starting to think my issue was simply due to a poor overall  
organization of my app.  I'm having trouble following many of the  
examples, but I do see that I really don't have a good feel for how to  
divide things between different classes and different files - so I  
suspected that the "are private" issues are because I don't have the  
right relation between the class where I've defined the persist for my  
database object and the object for which I'm trying to call the query.

As I was thinking of how to simplify or reorganize, I looked again at  
the dbo tutorial.  I'm not sure how I noticed, but all I had to do was  
move the "public:" in the Trait class definition above the persist  
piece.  I'm still not sure why the persist stuff shouldn't be OK being  
private to the class, since I am only trying to access it within a  
function in the class - or is it because it's a public function, and  
therefore will end up being called in a place where the private stuff  
will not be accessible?

Anyway, thanks for the ongoing help, and I'm sure I'll be back next  
time I get stuck.
