I have been making a number of minor modes.  But as the number of modes
are increasing, I would like to start integrating them into a single minor-mode,
but keeping the same names.  

Keeping the same names would keep the various  functionalities separate, 
and the corresponding code easier to maintain (for instance,  one could simply
 turn a few of the functionalities off).  Would one use one minor-mode calling 
other 
minor-modes, or just have separate files calling the required functions but 
removing
the minor-mode definition in each file, and having just a parent minor-mode?

Does it make sense (or even possible) to extend a minor-mode?  I do not see much
information to achieve the plan, because the descriptions in the manual seem to 
focus
on a defining just a single minor-mode in one file.  Perhaps some information 
on this
could be inserted in the elisp tutorial?

Many thanks
