no i fear you are quite right.
i guess there really should be a separation between subpatches (esp. 
with data-structures) and abstractions.
the main point why i didn't do it was, because i did not want to 
generate _another_ symbol (when loading an abstraction [foo/bar] pd 
automatically generates the symbols "foo/bar", "bar.pd", and 
"/path/to/my/foo")
but probably there is no way around.

btw, does foo.pat bind to "pd-foo.pat"? (i think so).
