I am not sure about what you mean by "not as an abstraction". Do you 

mean opening a patcher from another patcher ? I f so, you can send 

'load your/path/to/patch/to/load' to a [pcontrol].

Is this what you are after ?

|MaxPatcher| can be used in conjunction with |MaxBox| to dynamically 

modify and create patchers on the fly. The interface exposed is very 

similar to the functionality exposed by the js javascript external and 

thus much of that documentation for that external is applicable well.

public class maxpatchertest extends MaxObject {

MaxPatcher p = new MaxPatcher(50,50,200,200);

MaxBox b11 = p.newDefault(20,20,"toggle",null);

MaxBox b21 = p.newDefault(50,20,"toggle",null);

MaxBox b31 = p.newDefault(80,20,"toggle",null);

                 p.getWindow().setVisible(true);

The Patcher object is a Javascript representation of a Max patcher. You 

modify, and iterate through objects within a patcher, send messages to a 

would use with the thispatcher object, etc.

There are currently three ways to get a Patcher, use the Constructor, 

property of a jsthis (accessed as this.patcher), or use the subpatcher() 

var p = new Patcher(left,top,bottom,right);

left, top, bottom, right: global screen coordinates of the Patcher window

Uses 100,100,400,400 as default window coordinates

Hi Sebastien,
  From the max java api documentation:
