Hi Ferruccio,

this is a quite complex task.

FormFu cannot handle this by itself, so you have to support it 
programmaticaly.

I would suggest to create different form config files for each part of your 
form. You could then laod the parts of the form that your website requests on 
demand.
For checking the form you could load all parts of the form or the required 
ones, just as you like.

Mybe you canwrite somewrapper classes which abstract that work away, something 
like that what Moritz and myself are doing for the ExtJS framework.

Greets,
