On many projects, the views represent snapshots of the development of the subsystem (eg, older views are older versions of the subsystem, later views are later versions). Views are also used to support team development, eg, each developer can have his/her own view to use as a "play area" where changes can be made without fear of negative impacts on the other developers. When building your application, many subsystems may be linked together, but only one view from each subsystem may be used. If you think about it, trying to link multiple views from the same subsystem into an application is like saying you want two versions of the same source file compiled and included in your application -- that's normally not a good thing to do (to put it nicely :-). You should contact your local Rational representative or send email to me (make the obvious fix to my email address) and we can discuss this further. Gene Ouye <.g.e.n.e.o.@.r.a.t.i.o.n.a.l...c.o.m.>
