[PD] Nonlocal shared symbol ?

Inside the main patch, I use [text] to read constant values from a textfile. Then I could store them in containers like [symbol], [float], [list] in each abstractions but it seems (for me) not flexible. It does not allow to open a patch or an abstraction which needs thoses values. I can reload the textfile when the patch is opened but I don't like this design : when I reload the textfile I trigger values into the 2 patches.
My way now is a [text] loader of the same textfile into my main patches, called once at the startup.
The [pv] object from cyclone is a good choice, thanks for the tip. It just needs to be created in a parent level.

Do you mean one [text] loader into each abstractions ?
