But at any rate, I believe conflating "extending" a script with "concatenation" is the wrong way to think about behaviors.
I think of them as private backscripts, available only the object to which they are attached. If the behavior doesn't catch a messages, the message continues on to the next object after the backscript's owner.
One thing that surprised me recently was a behavior attached to a shared background field. A mouseUp message activated when I didn't expect it to. I finally realized that because the behavior was attached to a background field, it was being triggered after the card controls. I set the field's backgroundBehavior to false (but left the shared property true) and the unexpected responses stopped because the field was now a card object.
