Using the approach above, one would have to use a different approach 
than just calling process_types as below. At the very least, build 
separate lists from the big list

content_types, constructors, ftis = process_types(
         listTypes(PROJECTNAME),
         PROJECTNAME)

I'm confused about the reference to using the same fti. Doesn't each 
type have its own fti? How can I use only one? In my code above, would I 
pass in the variable ftis? Need some more clarification.

Thanks,
