You can have meta-objects specific to a particular object or meta-objects shared among various objects (even instances from different classes). A simple framework for meta-object composition is also available. It allows chaining various meta-objects (As described chain of responsibility design pattern). Such meta-objects cooperate in order to control base-level objects. Two examples of meta-objects use are provided. They show how reflection can be used to separate concerns, and how reflection can be used to support AOP. They also show that the aspects built using meta-objects (and mixin metaclasses) are generic and hence reusable.
