Hello Steve,

What I mean (already exchanged on the topic) is simply that the table be defined at start of its definition:

Pt = {			-- here t already exists and is equal to {}
    x = 1,
    y = 2,
    d = x+y,     	-- so, this is legal
    __index = t		-- and this, too ;-)
    -- .......
}

Denis
