sorry, i didn't check your declare-test-setup. otherwise, i'd have
noticed, that we are not speaking about the same thing. what you found,
is a far more complex issue than what i was speaking about. 

what i meant to be inconsistent:

- [declare -lib somelib] makes the objects of the external 'somelib'
availabe to ALL patches, not only to the [declare]'s parent patch.

- [declare -path somefolder] makes the abstractions from 'somefolder'
available ONLY to the parent patch, i.e. the patch, that contains the
[declare].

i don't see why abstractions from a certain location should be handled
differently than objects from a certain library? shouldn't they be
treated the same (at least from the user's point of view)?
