My understanding is that a viewable is the Eclipse-side abstraction
of what goes in a viewer on the Visualisation client's side.  This is
by design a one to one mapping.  According to this, can you not
simply group all the plan data that you want to go into one viewer
into one viewable?  That is the only purpose of a viewable: to group
together the things that go into one viewer.
