You might want to have a look at Caesar, an AO language that significantly
improved in the ideas of aspectual components, especially with strong
support for separating aspect implementations from aspect bindings to a
concrete code base (seems like the crosscut construct you are looking for).
See the paper on "Conquering Aspects with Caesar" at AOSD 2003 and have a
look at www.caesarj.org for software and other documentation.
