update: my ascii drawing corrupt with threaded view. please have a look from single article view.

Thanks for reply. This is too interesting for me.

I used extends here, not with, like you always do. Roles, mixins are new to me.
I guess this picture vaguely like this.

So, your generic object should know the dependencies of roles to use, plugging them , create the output. Dependencies varies from case by case, you have to use roles dynamically, with apply_all_roles.

From client, it will just look like google api, tell the pipe line parameters needed with HTML header, or sending XML.
