Actually, that would be very useful. Be able to do things like have both ".." and "../2004.3" in parent, so items from the parent in the directory structure is read first, followed by the 2004.3 stuff. There are quite a few cascaded profiles that are nearly identical between versions, with only a single change, but that are quite divergent from the parent. This would eliminate most of the duplication and redundancy in them. > Also, a pony.
