CORBA::ORB is defined in pseudo IDL, not IDL, so you can't use it in
normal IDL definitions. Quite aside from that, omniORBpy doesn't support
local interfaces either, so even if you could convince it to accept a
parameter of type ORB, it wouldn't do you any good.

What is this IDL trying to achieve?  Where did it come from?

Cheers,

Duncan.
