What does object naming have to do with this topic?

How is this problem any different than an SNMP master agent
which must communicate with multiple sub-agents in order
to respond to an SNMP Get request?  There aren't multiple
running configurations.  There is a single running configuration
which may be stored internally in fragments.  (This situation
occurs today even without a master/sub-agent architecture.)
