It occurred to me after just reading my replies on this thread that I failed
to answer the more important question for the purpose of learning.

From my experience with remote scripting (a bunch), I've not been terribly
successful in using nested instances of 'using terms from'. I'm sure its
possible in some instances, but I find that the parent 'using terms from'
application tends to interfere with the child classes and properties.

Since I tend to prefer the method and format, anyway, I like to break things
out into subroutines and handlers, et al, as I demonstrated in the working
example I sent you. This negates any potential for any issues as noted
above, and also tends to reduce lines while increasing script clarity and
readability.
