OK, just to prevent this getting side-tracked: I'm absolutely uninterested in the results of performActionA before determining if performActionB is permitted/possible/whatever.  Think more in terms of security permissions or resource availability/claiming than in terms of chaining results.  I want to know before I begin to collect the results of performAction* that I will actually stand a chance at getting results at all.

Uh, the posts you quote were precisely about how to do that. No side-tracking going on. :-)

All the best,
