That's basically correct - that's why in general you should only extend an interface or make a new interface. To do otherwise breaks faith with the users of your library.
No problem if you want to create a new interface - just give it a new name.

I was the one that wrote: Basically, you can never remove an interface, because someone, somewhere might be using it. but Robert removed the line before that, where I said: But that way lies madness. -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
