I can't pretend I have read this entire thread in detail, but I believe
you are dealing with an existing API that exposes certain objects, which
you can't change or add to.

precisely

My impression is that the "oo" way is something the developer
of that API should have done. For instance, if all those objects
implemented a common interface, you would be done already. So perhaps the
problem is that it is too late for "oo" in this case.


I just assume there's an oo way to encapsulate my interaction with that api
:-)
