OK, I'll go with an example (somewhat contrived...):

<!-- This extends node because it doesn't actually show any content itself, so 
doesn't need the view stuff -->
<class name="myclass" extends="node">
	<attribute name="something" />
	<attribute name="wherethingsshouldbeput" />

	<oneview parent="${classroot.wherethingsshouldbeput}"
		something="${classroot.something}" />
	<anotherview parent="${classroot.wherethingsshouldbeput}"
		something="${classroot.something}" />
</class>

<view name="view1">
	...
</view>

<view name="view2">
	<myclass something="something"
		wherethingsshouldbeput="${parent.view1}" />
</view>

I want the instances of oneview and anotherview to be children of view1, 
without anything having to be done on the part of view1, as indicated by the 
assignment to 'parent' (which, now I think of it, I haven't actually tested, 
but I bet it doesn't work :)
