I can see some value for the particular problem that opened the discussion, but I'm missing a more general value. I admit to thinking "tool in search of a problem", a design strategy I've been guilty in the past. Also, you keep mentioning PHP's "include". I would answer with Python's "import". And finally, I would deprecate my suggestion in favor of a file in the models directory or in favor the the routes.py changes, both suggestions that Anthony offered. I apologize for missing the point, and look forward to greater understanding. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
