I think we all understand it the same.

How about something like:

Door( Wall *, position ) [: public DungeonElement]

Then, when Wall gets render()ed, it will first draw itself to the grid, then 
will ask all of it's Door children to draw themselves, which they will 
gleefully do.
Also add:

Wall::addDoor( Door *, int offset )
Wall::addDoor( int offset ); // shortcut for addDoor( new Door( this, offset 
) );

We can use whichever names you want. I haven't coded much since yesterday 
because my arm is aching, but I'll certainly try to finish the DMPr... 
DungeonDataKeep by Sunday night, with load/save support and all.

See ya!
