Hi,

I have a state [A] with three orthogonal substates [X,Y,Z]. The states [A] 
and [X] provide custom reactions for an event [E]. If processing event [E] 
the state machine calls first the custom reaction in [A]. This method 
returns with forward_event() ; After this the custom reaction in [A] is 
called again. And then custom reaction in [X] is called.

This is a little cumbersome. Why is the custom reaction in [A] called twice?

And why is the outermost state called first? It would be something easier to 
work vice versa. First the more "specialized" inner states could do there 
work and then the "generalized" outer states can do the everything else.

Pirx!
