Hi Pavel,

Andrew, but can I get away with including base.dbd in the support
module? What if it's included in the main IOC for the second time?

I haven't tried it and I wouldn't recommend it, that could result in all

the record types, soft device support and other items getting registered

twice, which I suspect might have nasty consequences.

Take a look at the *_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp file that gets

generated in your IOC's build directory and see what it is doing. You

could create an equivalent source file to this by hand for the things

that are in each module if you wanted to, but you would have to repeat

that process any time you upgraded a module. You have already

experienced the weird kinds of errors that can occur if you get this

stuff wrong though.
