My MagmaServerRequest being a subclass of RepositoryRequest is 
registered as part of the Magma protocol as you say. It has an attribute 
'requests'. This is passed as an Array of Message' instances, both of 
these appear to be understood by Magma for serialization. At the other 
end I check that the Message-#selector's are defined in the 
#requestsSupported and simply send them to the class that implements 
that selector.
