doc/2.control.examples/12.PART2.subpatch.pd (inside [pd eager-adder]) Also in: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/x2.htm#s7 Trivia: If you put a bunch of [inlet] objects at the exact same x position in a canvas, the order in which they were created (from most recent to least recent) corresponds to the left-to-right order of the subpatch's inlets on the parent patch. In other words: if you have: [inlet] [inlet] There's no way to tell by looking what the ordering is. So, obviously, don't do that, but also keep in mind that it's a good idea in general to keep all [inlet] objects in a horizontal row so one can quickly grasp their left-to-right order merely by looking at the patch: [inlet] [inlet] is much clearer than: [inlet] [inlet] [inlet] (Same for [outlet].) -Jonathan

In other words, when I edit my subpatch, how can I tell which inlets/outlets in the subpatch correspond to which in box in the main patch representing the subpatch?
I'm sure this is a common question, but a quick glance through the docs and on google didn't turn anything up.
