Thus, you wouldn't want to use a shared relay in the same circuit with _either_ operator's non-shared relays, but it would be okay to use either one of operator's relays in the same circuit with one of the other operator's relays. And that maps to a situation where each operator has their own relay family, and the shared relays would belong to both families. cheers, -- Nick
