I'm sorry,but I've not understood.Each subSwarm schedule is made up of about 3
actions to be scheduled:

subActions=[ActionGroup create self];
[subActions createActionTo: self message: M(process_Message)];
[subActions createActionTo: blackboard  message: M(get_My_message)];
[subActions createActionTo: self message: M(process_blackboard_Message)];

subSchedule=[Schedule createBegin:self];
[subSchedule setRepeatInterval:1];
subSchedule=[subSchedule createEnd];
[subSchedule at: 0 createAction: subActions];

The schedule should be interrupted between action 2 and 3,until the blackboard
has processed its own message.
