Dear David,

Probably two users calling the same of pages and expecting to get two 
different web sites are using different URLs, right?  Are you virtually 
hosting multiple domains?  I'm guessing whatever it is, there's some way 
to tell these two apart.  So you use that to determine the auth object:

$page_features=array("foo.com"=>array("sess"=>"foo_sess","auth"=>"foo_auth"...),
"bar.com"=>array("sess"=>"bar_sess","auth"=>"bar_auth"...),
"baz.com"=>array("sess"=>"baz_sess",...);

$page = $page_features($HTTP_HOST);
page_open($page);

You probably have to be more careful in divining the object names, but the
general strategy is that.  Once you start the session, $auth, $perm, etc.
are registered in it so they remember their type.

This means that you will have load every client's session, auth, perm
objects no matter which client's site is being served.  Here is another
idea:  Give each site owner their own local.inc, with the same sess,
auth, perm objects defined by the same name.  So everybody has a session
object "my_session", an auth object "my_auth", whatever.  Then you use the
URL or HTTP_HOST to determine which local4.inc to load.

require "$HTTP_HOST-local.inc";
// only now are my_sess etc. declared classes
page_open("sess"=>"my_sess","auth"=>"my_auth",...)

Actually, this is probably better, since all your content is in a DB_SQL 
object and which one depends on the client, too.  So just make sure 
local.inc declares classes of the same name for each client and you're 
good. The only thing that really has to be different is the database 
object.  

HTH,
Matt
