David, The processor/handler may not care about the semantics of blocks, even in the scenario you suggest. For example, the encryption Block would be targetted at the final destination, and reference the RPC Block, which itself would be targetted at "none"; things would then be automatically processed in the right order. Of course, I am assuming static-targetting here, and things may be different with late-targetting. Jean-Jacques. David Clay wrote: > What about the order in which handlers must be dispatched?
