Hi Ludwig,

why do you not create to paths?

your.application.modules.screens.alpha.Default.class and
your.application.modules.screens.beta.Default.class

then under src/webapp/templates/screens/alpha you create A.vm, B.vm and C.vm
and under src/webapp/templates/screens/beta you create D.vm, E.vm and F.vm

If you have Functionality you need in both screen classes you go ahead and
create a your.application.modules.screens.Default.class and let
alpha.Default.class and beta.Default.class extend from that.

Will that solve your problems?

Kind regards

Juergen
