>Fabio, I don't think this will work. I didn't copy and paste your code to test it, but I think you're looking at the genesis of my problem in the first place: BINDEVENT won't be able to see oInner since it's PROTECTED. BINDEVENT seems to require that all participants be public.

My suggestion is that not to lose days and nights to try to build
a OOP model in VFP, doesn't have hope to succeed us,
the errors of programming and design are too many.

In VFP you have to use the tools that the environment makes you available,
without looking for an intrinsic coherence and with a formal correctness.
