Well, let me play devil's advocate here a bit.  PI defines a packaging 
semantics where the package a particular class or method is in, is 
defined by the system organization.  So, under the PI definition of 
"package", Göran is correct.  Now, you may prefer a different semantics 
for the package system (for example, so that you can have classes from 
multiple packages within one system category), but that's a separate 
issue.
