Costa's corollary to Murphy's Law:

Obvious answers to simply problems come only when you embarrass yourself
by asking dumb questions. (and get a good night's sleep).

I shouldn't have declared "LayersBase" as extern! So when BLink said it
wasn't defined, it meant exactly that. Although it would have been nice if
all of the library bases had been treated the same way.

My humble apologies for wasting your time.
