yeah, I'm a little lost here - maybe I'm completely wrong and it should 
be solved in a different way?

ok, maybe the name of the packages was a little strange I will try 
another example (and keep it shorter... :p)

Packages "Shop" has 2 different Views "List and Detail for Products"

Package "AdvancedShop" should have the same Features as "Shop" but the 
Class Product should be extended with an additional attribute. (Class 
AdvancedProduct?)

Shop and AdvancedShop should each work on it's own. However if I change 
or add some functionality in Shop I also want to have it in 
AdvancedShop. (I only want to extend the classes I need to) [for small 
changes maybe just one file?)

So basically I want to split up to functionality so they can choose what 
the want. (use a simple shop, advanced shop, funny shop whatever).

It's more or less a plugin function - I'm not sure how this will work 
with TYPO3v5 (will they use "normal" FLOW3 Packages for extending 
TYPO3?, so there will hooks and all that stuff?)

Maybe I should just code it all in one package (I mean if the next TYPO3 
will be in one FLOW3 package, than that should be enough for me. I was 
just wondering as that way would be easier in MY head... :p)

with best regards

PS: thx for reading all this crap - I hope by just writing this all down 
the solution will come on it's own... :p
