You need to make "proxy inlets", which use extra objects that are t_pd but 
not t_gobj (there's no interdiction, but there's no point). Those objects 
are not considered as part of the patch, as each of them is hidden behind 
the inlet that it represents. Those objects normally keep a pointer to the 
master object, which owns the first inlet. If you want all inlets to 
behave the same, you can avoid some duplication by using CLASS_NOINLET.

I think it would be appropriate to limit yourself to one quote per email.
