Reading up on the pattr sdk I have a few questions concerning some of 

the object routines for registration and notification:

The object_register function is declared as:

void *object_register(t_symbol *name_space, t_symbol *s, void *x);

If using this to register an external with a symbol, will it then be 

possible to connect to this using e.g. the "send" object, or will it 

only work with externals that connect to the namespace?

The next question is concerning object_attach. Is it possible to use 

this to connect several clients to the same registered object?

Apart from that I just want to add that the pattr sdk is excellently

Apart from that I just want to add that the pattr sdk is excellently 
written and very illuminating!

At this time, registered objects and send/receive are completely

Yes. You can connect as many clients to a registered object as you want.

At this time, registered objects and send/receive are completely  
distinct, unrelated mechanisms.
