hi,
but then, do you really need to wrap those sub-abstractions?
I mean, instead of using [selfmodif blah] and [selfmodif ding] (where selfmodif.pd wrapper contains a [$1] object) maybe it would be easier to use just [blah] and [ding] in the main window?
Btw. putting [$1] object in a window is possible, and it will be saved as "#X obj <x> <y> $1" -- no need to hack the .pd file.

another self reply... [...] i realised that by manually editing the name of an object in the .pd file to be (for example) "$1", then you can change the name of that object using a parameter to the abstraction (as long as it has the same configuration of in's and out's). with some craftily designed sub-abstractions you can use this to reconfigure the abstraction at creation time.
