Well, it may be not bug, but my ignorance and lack of
documentation preventing me from achieving what I
like. 

But after  looking into nano code, it seems that 
only constant parameters are implemented  by 
picoextras reflection. 

In short, I would like to be able to specify not only
constant dependencies ( which are covered by 
<parameter> pretty well ) , but also component
dependency ( by name ).


While testdriving, I did following in my java code:
---------%<------------------
       // register outgoing mail service
       
_container.registerComponentImplementation(MailServer.class,
SmtpServer.class,
            new Parameter[]{new
ComponentParameter("emailConfig")});
        // regiter velocity rendering engine
       
_container.registerComponentImplementation(VelocityComponent.class);
        // email propertry configurator
       
_container.registerComponentImplementation("emailConfig",
ClasspathProperties.class,
            new Parameter[]{new
ConstantParameter("/mail.properties")});
        // user registration notificator
       
_container.registerComponentImplementation(UserRegistrationNotification.class,
UserRegistrationNotification.class,
            new Parameter[]{new
ComponentParameter(MailServer.class),
            new
ComponentParameter(VelocityComponent.class)});
        // password recovery  notificator
       
_container.registerComponentImplementation(PasswordRecoveryNotification.class,
PasswordRecoveryNotification.class,
            new Parameter[]{new
ComponentParameter(MailServer.class),
            new
ComponentParameter(VelocityComponent.class)});
---------%<------------------

And now I would like to move it into external XML 
config file ( well, bsh is also there but for yout
internal puproses xml is better )

So I tried this:
---%<---------------------
<container>
    <component key="emailConfig"
class="com.infodesire.webgui.pico.ClasspathProperties">
        <parameter
class="java.lang.String">/mail.properties</parameter>
    </component>
    <component key="com.infodesire.mail.MailServer"
class="com.infodesire.mail.server.SmtpServer">
        <parameter
class="java.lang.String">emailConfig</parameter>
    </component>
    
    <component
class="com.infodesire.webgui.velocity.VelocityComponent"/>
    
    <component
class="com.infodesire.webgui.email.UserRegistrationNotification">
    <!--
        <parameter
class="org.picocontainer.defaults.ComponentParameter">com.infodesire.mail.MailServer</parameter>
        <parameter
class="org.picocontainer.defaults.ComponentParameter">com.infodesire.webgui.velocity.VelocityComponent</parameter>
        -->
    </component>
    
    <component
class="com.infodesire.webgui.email.PasswordRecoveryNotification">
    <!--
        <parameter
class="org.picocontainer.defaults.ComponentParameter">com.infodesire.mail.MailServer</parameter>
        <parameter
class="org.picocontainer.defaults.ComponentParameter">com.infodesire.webgui.velocity.VelocityComponent</parameter>
        -->
    </component>
</container>
---%<---------------------
I was able to specify constant parameter ( for
classpath properties ) , but not those properties by
name to email component - well,automatic wiring works
fine in this case, because there is only one instance
of ClassPathProperties there...  

But tag like <componentParameter (class|key)> would be
nice ( though "class" parameter may be not necessary )
