The question that remains in my mind is the graphical effect. If you have three children aps; foo:one, foo:two, and foo:three, and you change the style of foo:two, do all three have to be re-generated in the graphical display? Is there a difference depending on the choice of whether foo:one or foo:three is first child?

That would depend on the style you change, if you made foo:two invisible, you would need to regenerate the entire graphic, if you only increased the line width, you might be able to only regenerate foo:two and all graphical elements that follow foo:two in sequential order of the cgm file. It would make no difference if you defined foo:one or foo:three as first child you would still need to process the graphic elements in the order they are presented in the CGM.
