>These views should be made out of tables related with eachother with the SET RELATION command and filtered with the SET FILTER command. Within a the dialog you should be able to select the fields you want to include with the view. In fact we can already do this with manually setup the table hierarchy (SET RELATION and a SET FILTER) and issue a BROWSE FIELDS command.

We already have this. It is called the data environment. You can create a DE without a form... (See codebook fraemwork.) The DE can contain cursors (table or views) and relations, also indexing and filters.

Add to this a private datasession and you esentially have what you want. Granted it wouldn't be stored in the DBC but in a prg.

The only difference that I see, is that it is not somehow encapsulated into a single set of records.
