Ok. What I did not seen was that a background object is only duplicate
at the creation of a new card. Uhm ... I already imagine a client ask
me to add an object into the background of a one hundred cards stack.
Nightware!

What I do not understand now it is you're need to duplicate the menu
on each card. In a stack we can see only one card at the same time.
Why do not just place the menu when you need it on the current card?

I missed something here. I have to do some test to illuminate my mind.

Behavior or other way to not have to repeat the same code. No
particular advantage with it here. Just I had it in head when I wrote.
