Your question puts in a shorter form is that you want to create several l=
evels =

of contexts in one call to bind_new_context().  No, this will not work.  =
A =

'NotFound' exception will be thrown.  If you refer to the Naming Service =

standard, you'll find the semantics of bind_new_context is defined as fol=
lows:

ctx->bind_new_context (<c1; c2; ...; cn>) is equivalent to =

(ctx->resolve(<c1; c2; ...; cn-1>))->bind_new_context (<cn>)

since you don't have the context 'text' and 'shorttext' present at the ti=
me of =

calling bind_new_context, this will fail.

I know it's slightly inconvenient, but you have to stick to new_context()=
 for every level in a path.
