Thanks.
 
That's pretty much the way I see it too.  I was hoping someone might know a 
workaround  Maybe define one datasouce as a copy of another like:

datasource latf-login
  ds-source     = "exec:0:/var/bbuser/bin/latfdata %bbdatadir%/%latfdatafile%"
  rrd-ds-type   = GAUGE

datasource latf-login-stack
  ds-source = COPY:latf-login
  rrd-ds-type = GAUGE

I know COPY is not a keyword.  The above is just an example.

I've been playing at adapting Cricket to use the CGI::Application framework. 
so maybe I'll just add a COPY function.
