Coordination in OO



Hi
I want to know your views on this one.
In the OO world, an object calls another which usually process logic
and return the call back to the caller. Lets call this concept
'coordination' and for reference, lets call this the 'call and return'
coordination style.

My question is :
- will it be of any use if we build high level coordination styles
based on the 'call and return' style of coordination ? An example will
be 'broadcasting' where one object can send a message to several callee
objects at once, or 'token' where one object can pass around a token
object to several participating callee objects who then update the
'token' for further processing ?
- i guess if we have such coordination mechanisms in a OO language, we
can reduce the amount of code we have to write, isnt it ?

Will appreciate any new coordination 'styles' you may propose.

Regards
Kallol
