I have a MacroCommand and it executes Command A, B, then C.  Currently B needs some data that A gets to do it's function.  However, A calls a remote object asynchronously so it's 'execute' method finishes quickly and the MacroCommand calls B.execute. 

Should I implement something that causes MacroCommand to wait for A to "finish" before calling B?  or Should I create a special Proxy that stores the temporary results for me?

Thanks!

My approach right now is to create my MacroCommand type of class that will pass a "finishedCallback" to each command before calling "execute" on it.  Then it sits until a command finishes, then calls the next one.  My subcommands actually modify the body of the notification as they move along.

works for me...anyone else try this?

Have a look at Trilec's Notification Chaining utility:
