wondering ...

Hi, 

Although, I am new to nanning (and AOP generally), recently I have read
quite a bit, but cannot sufficiently answer one particular question ::

I thinking how Mixins might help my coding ::  it seems to me that the
Mixin would be useful (even without the AOP functionality), but I might
need the Mixin to have access to the state of the object is it being
MixedIn to. Is this something that is usual/ supported, or am I barking
up the wrong tree ?
