A method and apparatus for an innovative object oriented framework system is disclosed. The system uses an innovative load architecture for a framework application and provides a system and method for dynamically linking load modules at runtime. The preferred embodiment employs a collection of load modules, each of which contains functions, static data, and classes to make the load modules appear as if they were statically linked together. However, code executing in one load module can perform operations on another load modules code, such as: calling a function, or obtaining a pointer to a function; accessing static data or obtaining a pointer to the static data; calling any public or protected member function of a class to obtain a pointer or access a public or protected data member of the class; or cast to any base of an object of a class.
