Multi library method calling

[Mike Rowan]

Hi Scotte
I find that if I include kFalse as the second parameter to $root.$libs.$add
it does not create a new library, and I can see that the library does in
fact include the method I wish to call.

It returns a valid reference to the second lib2, but both my calling
method and your suggestion result in a 'command without a valid method
name' error.

I'm stumped, though I have work around.

What I'm trying to avoid is having lib2.$construct calling $initialise
because that doesn't seem good practice.

Thanks for your interest.

Mike
