  11. While reading the "ODF Developer's Guide Update", I came across the following paragraph in the section on "Defining a Subview"
  12.  
  13. "The view hierarchy inside your frame will never be very deep.  Usually a frame contains simple views, such as controls, as direct children, and it may contain a content view  which itself contains other simple views.  It is rare that you use more than 2 layers of views because of the limitation"
  14.  
  15. What is the limitation being referred to in that last (incomplete) sentence?  Does this mean that my view hierarchy _should not_ get very deep?  If so, how deep is too deep?  I am currently using nested subviews extensively in my part.
