This time I really think I'm asking for too much. I am designing a Mute/Solo module for a mixer with x amount of channels. It is a pretty ornate, as far as mute and solo can go, and I have the whole design laid out on paper (bussing and logic with MAX background in mind). Now I want to make things easier and convenient for myself, and whoever might want to use the module in the future (basically myself).

There several inputs to the module that control how it operates, which I like to call modes and active states, and which effect other modules in other channels. I have designed it so they are sort of tied together by separate Mute/Solo Control panel next to the main controls of the mixer.

Have the mixer be my main object; that is, its the object I need to really have a window opened for when using all this fancy gizmodrey. Understandably, I have reduced the design of the channel down to separate modules (subpatches, actually bpatchers).

I have the different modules saved as individual objects, simply because they get used many times within my main object. However, my M/S module has some inputs that I would like to consider global, and ideally I would be able to have a receive object inside the object instead of through an inlet. BUT, I would like to leave the option open for having multiple mixers open (I'm just crazy like that), and so I would like to have the control panel send info to the M/S module through a send unique to the mixer object, but with the send and receive inside of those 2 respective modules (Mute/Solo and Control Panel)

s/r is normally global. To get private, look up the #0-message or use pvar & friends.

There's plenty more in the list archive, this should get you started.
