[PD] name collisions, namespaces ..

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Juha,
one other potential problem is that the [zexy] object must then be loaded
before all the objects you want to reference from the zexy library.
Otherwise they wont't be found.
I'm not sure if one can always be in control of this.

greetings,
Thomas
