It's a matter of degree, I suppose.  You don't expect methods on a
resource to change frequently, so depending on it at design time is
probably not such a big deal.

If you can write software that doesn't depend on that information,
that's always best (I hope everybody agrees on that, at least!), and
it's what I've personally done and will always try to do.  But I can't
rule out the possibility that the benefits of knowing that kind of
information at design time won't help in some cases; I doubt it, but I
suppose it's possible.

Mark.
