I don't think that's necessarily true, Mike. For example, Mail has a "message" class as well as a separate "outgoing message" class. I personally put an "Attached Document" class into Project X's AppleScript support, and have had no conflicts with the built-in "Document" class. They are in different suites though, and Mail's message and outgoing message are too. Maybe that's the trick.

It seems that class names cannot be substrings of other class names, lest they collide at compile time. For example, if I have a class album and another class iTunes album, the compiler will map the "album" in "iTunes album" to album and throw an error because it doesn't know what "iTunes" means.

Is this true? If so, is there any way to get around this, other than having to think of two words for every kind of media?
