hmm, and the comlet gets automatically associated with the inlet ? Is there a similar example within pd ?

there are no examples, but it is plain simple. In short, it is like if the pd_canvasmaker (aka "classmaker") quasi-object was taking the message 'comlet'. The comlet method would somehow store an assistance binbuf (the text of a tip). That binbuf would then be used by the constructor of the inlet or outlet created next, and cleared.

(up to now, I think properties are saved within the objects themselves)

there are data-embedding objects, though (array and a few cyclonics), so the idea of using more than one .pd-file message to create an object is not that weird after all.
