I don't know the answer to the question of legality, but I did it by creating
new menus and gadgets for each window at run time.  Modeler can have any
number of windows of the same class but since the gadgets and menu checkmarks
may be in a different state for each window, I give them all their own private
structures.  I just made a set of statically declared Gadget structures as a 
prototype and wrote some code to make a copy for each new window.  Not too
difficult.

Menus were more complex, but for that I wrote a generic package for generating
new menu structures at run-time from a simple static specification.  I sent
that code to comp.sources.amiga so it should be generally available sometime.
