issue with classitem and tileindex...

[Brent Fraser]

John,

  Make sure all the tile shapefiles have the same attributes
(name, type, and order).  Other than that, I'm tempted to
fire up the debugger...

  Searching the email archive shows some posts about Tiger
data working with a tileindex, and classes with expressions,
so it should work (I know, that doesn't help much).
