Not an issue with Cold becasue you can multiply inehrit from the root and
get N identical copies of the root.
Cold makes no assumptions abotu what or how the root wil be sued except
that it is the ultimate root of everything. Thats it.
If yo uwanetd totally DIFFERENT structures you coud leven leave root empty
and inherit it into two sub roots that define their own stuff... but from
what I understand this isn't the proeprty under discussion.
To be Ozlike all yo uwould need to do is define your root and then inherit
it into multiple sub roots. Ofcoruse yo uwould have tyoi build duplciate
structures udner enath to get m,ultiple instacnes of the same overall
application.
Am I missing soemthing?
