 Throughout this guide, we've defined the initial position of each object 
 within the overall object tree either by explicitly mentioning its 
 parent's ``obj_id`` (if any) in the first line of the object definition 
 -- what we've been calling the header information -- or, for a few 
 objects which crop up in more than one place, by using their
