I am writting a patch using 5 bpatchers all using individual pattrstorage objects to manage and store their data. I want to interpolate between these form the parent using another pattrstorage. I haven't really tried to do it yet, and my question is mostly unrelated. 

When I open up the master patcher I get an "error patterstorage: could not resolve box". I did a search and got some old posts but they were unresolved. What's up with this error. I don't really want any dangling errors even if everything seems to function other wise.

The Problem is that:

pattrstorage-error

This error means that a pattr or autopattr object announced its presence 

to pattrstorage, but couldn't be found when pattrstorage went looking 

for it. Imagine a kid ringing your doorbell and then running around the 

corner before you get to the door. Or, possibly, an invisible kid 

In any case, it's likely a bug in the way autopattr or pattr is 

formatting the name of an object it is trying to expose to pattrstorage. 

If you send me the patch, I could probably figure it out and fix it for 

future generations. Otherwise, I am not sure what specifically is 

causing the problem, since this error message is theoretically never

I've run into this error as well - with bpatchers that each contain an autopattr and pattrstorage. I've enclosed a sample patch. If you open up "master_effects_ubu" you should see a "could not resolve box" error occur for each of the three bpatchers.

Based on JB's earlier reply, I also tried cutting/pasting the patch as text so that the bpatchers load first instead of the pattrstorage - also included in .zip as "master_effects_ubu_ordered". This seems to clear up the errors.

Wondering if there's an easier way to avoid these errors. They don't appear to harm the functioning of pattrstorage - but would they disrupt a larger patch composed of approximately 20 bpatchers constructed this way?

And - while I'm here, I'll point out I've got this (maybe)funky way of naming the nested pattrstorages by using an argument to the bpatcher. Have others tried this before? Any advice for or against it?
