You cannot have instances in Lib slots.

I'm not quite sure I understand your problem.  Is your problem that you
have multiple windows that communicate, e.g. opening each other, setting
contents of fields, and such?

You could declare them as patterns in the guienvLib slot.

loginWindow: window(# status: ^statusWindow; ... #);
statusWindow: window(# other: ^otherWindow; ... #);
otherWindow: window(# ... #);

In your program:descriptor, instantiate the windows you need and assign
references to the others to local references in them.

Does that help solve your problem?
