I definitely agree. This is what we tried to achieve here at Tanjero 
with Jawa. The beauty of using objects in the concept of inheritance. 
Normal page functionality is inherited from base classes. As long as the 
public interface doesn't change, it doesn't matter how we implement any 
one feature; if we want our pages to be output in WML instead of HTML, 
we only have to change it in one place. Authenticated pages are a just a 
subclass, etc...

Of course, objects aren't very useful without planning. The first thing 
we did was create a class map, which has now become a terrifying graph 
of objects will all sorts of lines connecting objects. Easy it wasn't; 
however, it's paid off quite a bit.

Thank you,
