I still maintain that the debugger should define a "bag" of stuff that projects keeps for it. The projects framework should not have to know what's in that bag. The debugger should be able to work with a given bag w/o access to a project. This probably applies to "tools" other than debuggers as well. Look at it from the POV of complexity. A common complexity metric is looking at a dependency graph and seeing how many edges each node has. The goal is to minimize the # of edges.
