We should have an application/framework-level hook within the site.zcml that is processed before *-configure.zcml are invoked.

Problem: A framework package 'b.x' registers a dedicated menu 'b_views'. A package 'a.x' using 'b.x' should be able to register menu items refering 'b_views'. The initialisation will fail because 'a.x' is loaded before 'b.x' and therefore 'a.x' cant register any view to 'b_views' because the menu does not exists yet.

Proposed solution: package includes named *-app.zcml will be invoked before the regular *-configure.zcml package includes (Compare example site.zcml below)

Any objections?

Regards,
Dominik


example site.zcml:

<configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope";>

<include files="package-includes/*-meta.zcml" />

<include package="zope.app" />

<!-- Provide application or framework specific configurations-->
<include files="package-includes/*-app.zcml" />

<!-- Provide package specific configurations-->
<include files="package-includes/*-configure.zcml" />

<!-- Provide local overrides of standard configurations-->
<includeOverrides file="overrides.zcml" />

<include file="securitypolicy.zcml" />
<include file="principals.zcml" />

</configure>
