Then the problem is with your notion of containment. Have a think about TARDISes, and the place the Narnians got to after the Last Battle, and Bags of Holding, and various other related concepts. It's perfectly possible for something to be 'inside' more than one thing at once. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
