And I plan to add Customers, Vendors, Jobs, Orders, and Invoices.
Moreover, I need two lists of these, since years down the road you may
have thousands and thousands of Orders and Invoices, and you certainly
wont want or need to load them all.  Does the engine/backend system
have some way to _partially_ load an object and then do a full backend
lookup only when that object is accessed?  Or is that the pervue of
the Query (in which case I still have a lot of work to do to augment
Queries).

I'm adding "Employees" as well, but I don't think I'm going to be
using them right away. ;)
