Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on HIVEMIND-130:
-----------------------------------------------

Another option that occured to me would be to allow multiple <construct> elements when building a chain of command (using ChainFactory).
Dependencies would be worked out inside each group independently, then the individually ordered lists would be concatinated to form the final result.
You can kind of simulate this today by having one of the <command> elements reference a chain-of-command service, but that's at lot of XML to type!

Possibly, implementing <join> and multiple <construct>s would be the most flexible solution.

> The usefulnes of chain of command could be extended by adding "join points" to the command chain.  I would define a join point as a no-op command that exists just for ordering other commands in the chian, i.e.:
> <command id="group-a-1" before="group-b-join" ...>
> <command id="group-a-2" before="group-b-join" ...>
> <join id="group-b-join"/>
> <command id="group-b-1" after="group-b-join" ...>
> <command id="group-b-2" after="group-b-join" ...>
> Of course, the joins themselves shoudl honor before and after attributes.  The joins become a skeleton, that organize complex command chains into stages.
