Marc,

You could always use my older, deprecated, sand-alone OverlayModal Plugin: http://yuilibrary.com/gallery/show/overlay-modal which doesn't use outside-events.

The supersedes means if gallery-overlay-modal is already loaded on the page, then gallery-overlay-extras comes along, overlay-extras will be used in favor of overlay-modal.

if you're lazy-using modules via Y.use (inside your YUI instance) and you created something like:

Overlays

The following would occur:

If you clicked #foo, gallery-overlay-modal would load and be used. Then if you clicked #bar, gallery-overlay-extras would be loaded and used for both the modal and autohide plugins.

But, If you clicked #bar first, gallery-overlay-extras would be loaded and used. Then if you clicked #foo, gallery-overlay-modal would not be loaded nor used, because gallery-overlay-extras supersedes it. I think this is the functionality you would want, this also helps shave bytes by only loading the code used to create overlays when they are needed. Since most of the time you do not need the Overlay code at page-load time you can defer the loading of the modules until you actually need them using Y.use.

You may also be interested in my Component Manager which makes lazy-loading of module and on-demand creation of instances nice and easy.
