I think the person who edits the patch (the "programmer") should be aware
of this, he should know that the settings for the first abstraction go
into the abstraction that is on the left, just as he knows that the
inlet/outlet that is on the left will be the first one.

Of course if you add an abstraction, there won't be any data for it
to load. Also, if you add the abstraction at the beginning, the whole
data will be shifted one abstraction.

If you remove one abstraction at the end, nothing happens, if you
remove it somewhere in the middle, the data will get loaded
differently.

Anyhow, not too different from adding and removing inlets and outlets.
I don't see a real problem with that approach, but maybe there's more ?
