That is what we do now although as a behavior can be used but not opened you would need to do that in the stack that uses the behavior. So you have stack A. The stack that uses the behavior which is a binary stackFile. Stack B the script only behavior of stack A. Stack C the script only behavior of stack B.

Right now you need to handle preOpenStack in stack A and setup the hierarchy because stack B does not retain the behavior property when saved and does not get any kind of message when used as a behavior. It may actually be a good idea to add a loadBehavior and unloadBehavior message sent to the object using the behavior so it can initialise its own heirarchy. Still I think saving the behavior property with the script only stack is a simpler solution.
