At the moment I am dying for the possibility to connect a receive to a subpatcher and grab the subpatcher's output. It's like having a function return back to the caller. Without this fundamental functionality I feel crippled!

Er, add an [outlet] within the subpatcher? Then [p foo] -> [s foo]. Perhaps I don't understand what you're after.

Does it work if you put the receive inside the subpatcher? I guess that

We work with big patches in which it is essential to keep a very tight structure. Subpatchers are often used as black boxes, which means all communication must be done via inlets and outlets. To place a receive inside a black box ruins this structure..

I'm kinda confused about this too. I don't understand what you mean, even after looking at the patch.

Unfortunately, the grab object's magic (as you have seen) doesn't work with abstractions or sub-patchers. At least, it doesn't work the way you were hoping for.

It may not fit well with your design principles, but the only way to get the effect you want is something like the following. It's the best I got.
