Now that we are at it I was wondering whether something similar could be adopted for tables too. The order in which the tables are defined, class table1( SQLObject ), class table2( SQLObject ), etc, etc, could also be significant and one might want to remember this ordering. And since there is all sorts of metaclass trickery involved with class creation, maybe the ordering could be stored. What do you think?
