Joe - I think dup proc is the only way to go. As to your comment "and even then the order isn't _guaranteed_" that should be dealt with by binder language/source instead of doing Export *All.  That guarantees the slot sequence.

I'm trying to create a service program with three modules: one that references a function, one with that function defined weakly, and one with the function defined strongly.  In that scenario, I should be able to combine the following:

That also would hide any cases of unintentional procedure duplication, so I'd really like to get #pragma weak working.
