[Zope] Fourth Posting, is this really that difficult or have I been blackballed :)balled :)

btw daniel,

i've looked at some your postings for the day and i thought i should
tell you that most of your problems would go away if you did subobject
adding in your __init__ method within your class or in the hook method
manage_afterAdd within your class. for future reference. You'd get all
the benefits of inheritance. Let manage_add to do just that, instantiate
and set a instance of your class.
