Agree - the definition of "related" is in the eye of the user. I remember working with VFE, which is another CodeBase framework, where yes, the controls are in iControls.vcx, forms are in iForms.vcx etc, but then I had hard time when I needed to subclass the login form, because it was before the CodeReferences tool and I had no idea where to look for it.

It was, if I remember correctly, somewhere in security vcx, or in some utility vcx. The last place I was looking for it.

Now to someone else, who has the mindset closer to that of the framework's authors', that may be a really logical place to put it, as that's related. To me, it's unrelated, or else I would have found it faster.

IOW, this is more an issue of readability (i.e. would the name of the classlib tell me which classes are inside) than of any logic in the packaging.
