Linked Layouts
NTK and Linked Subviews
Linking was added to NTK as a convenience for Newton programmers and to aid in application design. This should be fairly comprehensible when you understand what NTK does with your layouts. At build time, NTK reads all the templates for the main layout and for any linked layouts. NTK continues to read those layout files (recursively continuing through each linked layout and its linked layouts) and then creates a large tree of templates, which it sends to the Newton (see FIGURE A.14).
