Thanks for the additional info. "start using" works in my situation as the scripts are all in the stack it refers to although I probably did that because it was a requirement for "start using". In any case, it all seems to work as expected.
I will have to experiment more with situations where the calling stack is not toplevel. Maybe I'll have to go back to parsing the executionContexts.
