One level should be sufficient. > Please test and let me know if there are problems. It looks pretty good now. I could only find one case that is still causing a parser error: {$obj->meth("foo", $obj->val)} To make your life easier, I have extended the testcase that I sent earlier today. It includes the above failing case. Maybe it could be integrated in the unit test suite. A last word: thank you very much for your quick help on this matter. It is very much appreciated. Hans
