This is why I ask the list :-)
No, I was not aware of this behavior, but will play with it now.

Regardless of how I get there - I am pretty sure I need two "modules", one "real" one, and a test module - one that contains everything including the shim adapters.

thanks Jon.

In my current build, I perform a non-modular build of the module classes, and then the shim classes, and then combine the sum of them together and call it a module :-) This is a stopgap until we can rework to create a proper modular build.
