In which of the two cases ;)?
1.If component a calls b: No
  a>>children
	^#()

  Happens when you call a component within a callback Block usually or
  within a Task, e.g.:
  a>>renderContentOn: html
  	html anchor callback: [ self call: b ]; with: 'Call b'.

2.If component a causes b to be *rendered* within a: Yes.
  a>>children
	^#( b )

This happens when you display b like this:
  a>>renderContentOn: html
  	html heading level:1; with: 'Blablabla'.
  	html render: b.

I hope this clears it up a bit..
