You can do it any way you want -- to put multiple definitions in the
conf/spops.perl file, just add new hash keys. Check out the file in
the base_theme package for an example -- we define both a 'theme' and
'theme_property' object.

If the app has objects that are closely related to one another, it's
usually a good idea to put them in a single package.
