i think i spoke too soon... but it still seems as if the factory type
information stored on the factory dispatcher gets over-written, such that the
last ContentInit is the only one visible.
there is a dirty trick that solves the problem for karl's case, inside
initialize do
context._ProductContext__prod.factory_type_information = fti1+fti2
where fti1 and fti2 are the tuples of factory type infos. because this
mechanism exists, i'm curious if there is a cleaner way to utilize it... i
haven't found one yet.
from a permission standpoint though this is not meaningful wrt to security if
the constructors are the same.
on another note, i spent much time and hair pulling wrestling with the type
tool, before itamar clued me in that edits to filesystem factory type infos
and registration are not meaningful unless you blow away the product from the
control panel. ick.
