Simple question: Is it allowed to reuse the same Page (IPageBookViewPage) in multiple PageBookViews?

The implementations do not check for the re-use of a Page in another PageBookView. However, I would be surprised that this works correctly as it seems that 'createControl' and 'init' would be called multiple times on the same Page. Or do I miss something here?

I wouldn't recommend doing this. If your PageBookViewPages had no state, then it might work. But Page, the base class, holds onto the Page Site, which is tightly tied to a view part. So you're likely to hit some problem at some point.

Just to be sure, if the Page Site would be closed, and after that the Page is re-used in another Page Site would that potentially be a problem? To be concrete, this behavior is present in almost every IContentOutlinePage I have seen so far.

Can I turn the question around and ask: why do you want to reuse a page in multiple page book views?
