Well, it is hard to tell what I mean. Ok, let's assume you have user object and that object can hold an instance of another object, let's say a company object that has an address. The editor on the web page has a select list of the available companies and a link to create a new one. That link should be a guided tour to create a new company with three steps. Let us further assume that a new company object has been created and somewhat preconfigured . Now I want to be able to give this comany object to the first page in the set to be edited further. From step1 page to step2 and so on. If everything went well I would add the company object to the user.

I hope this is more clear what I meant.
