mmm, not sure, but reading the other url (and 
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=About_joining_and_relating_tables), 
it seems to me that he is looking for an even more sophisticated 
function. A function which joins attributes/records based on (indeed) 
something like a spatial relationship (intersects, contains, is_within 
etc). And/or options to choose between a 1to1 or 1tomany relationship, 
define models how to handle attributes in case there are more records 
involved etc.

Don't know Horst's planning, but  maybe you are right, and Horst's next 
version will 'grow' to something like that? That would be nice to 
communicate to the Geowanking-community...
