I guess the only thing I would add is that discussions like this tend to be too theoretical/academic and lead DIRECTLY to the large cost that you were talking about earlier. I find that these academic discussions rarely tend to optimize my development. They ARE good to have, they're fun, and they lubricate my brain, to let details slip in more easily, but what you really need to do is finish this piece of code exactly as YOU THINK it should be done and run with it for a while. Then: change it, realizing that the OO model is not quite correct, rewrite it and run with it for a while. Repeat this a couple of times until you get it correct. I.e. ignore us all except for any fun and eduction, gleaning bits of information from the conversation. The first 'n' OO projects will consist of MASSIVE rewrites on a large scale. Don't worry, you'll get better. Let experience with your real code (possibly saving old incantations of it for reference) be your final guide. Keep up the discussion though. 8-) "The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and something like mathematics, and something like language, and something like thought, and art, and information... but software is not in fact any of those other things."
