So the associated_decl_creators property seems to be what I meant above 
(a way to specify that a particular code creator belongs to the same 
file than a particular class). :)

But there's another problem now. How can the member function creator 
obtain a reference to its parent class creator (so that it can access 
the associated_decl_creators property) or rather: *when* can it do that?
During construction of the member function creator it is not yet added 
to the code creator tree, so its "parent" property isn't initialized 
yet. And when it is added later on it doesn't get notified about this 
and I haven't seen another place where it could do initializations. The 
only methods I've seen are called after create() has been called and at 
that time we're already at the stage when the files are written, so 
that's too late for adding something to associated_decl_creators.
