Hi,  

I found my problem. It s about sequences of rules for one class. I need to apply
different rules on one class, and apply them in a chronological order.
For example, rule1 then rule2 then rule3.
But, if I write : 
(tell ((:add-rule Box
         rule1....
         rule2....
         rule3....
))) 
the 3 rules seem to be apply in the same time. 

I found a way when it works, when I apply rule2 on a class whose instance are
imported later, and rule3 on a more later imported class. But I would like to
find the way to put all rules apply to the correct class, with a sequence of
chronological order. 

Ths for your help.
Robert.
