I guess I'm in the minority camp.  Stefan's description made immediate
sense to me, but I simply cannot understand the way gschem handles
this right now, it seems like a convoluted selfcontradictory
mish-mash.  Can anyone point me to a doc that explains the
'heirarchical' point of view?  I think if I could get a conception of
why it works the way it does, I'd probably be able to adapt myself to
that kind of workflow.

Thanks,
Miles
