Thanks for the suggestion.  The as.dbd file may have been a contributing problem, but not the 'only' one, in any case.

So, from your comment, it sounds like I'm going to have to go through all the driver modules, and somehow insure that none of them include the base types in their .dbd files?

It shouldn't and I would consider it a bug if it were.  Of course it worst this means selecting between two .dbd files at build time.

In this instance the issue is that the BACNet module is including as.dbd instead of asSupport.dbd, and thus pulling in two definitions of all the Base record types.

@Andrew, this message is approaching C++ template levels of hard-to-read.
