 Replying to [comment:47 r-a-y]:
 > `refresh.01.patch` is a slightly, different take on what I talked about
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639#comment:35 here].

 This seems to test fine for me r-a-y, feels like it covers all
 requirements?

 I'm asuming that the need to be able to manage the template parts is
 simply covered by the two conditions 'component' & 'actions' in that
 having caught either of those two conditions (in respect of user screens)
 we can simply call our own copy of a template part as that process is now
 outside the core apps influence or concern so e.g having set index-action-
 public.php if  wanted to then do something with the header for that action
 I could simply do:

 bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/profile/public/member-header'  )

 It works and perhaps is acceptable, it's certainly fine to work with by
 the feel of it I would be able to manage that increase in template/folder
 complexity - whether it's the best approach open to debate.

 However I think we are still left with a problem of drilling down to the
 inner parts:
 /single/profile
 as it in turn calls our three main item body parts 'edit', 'change
 avatar', 'profile-loop'

 So if I wanted to get to 'profile-loop' how would I? I guess could re-
 direct to pick a new copy of single/profile.php in single/profile/ then in
 turn edit the:

 bp_get_template_part( members/single/profile/profile-loop) to point to a
 new copy in a new folder in /profile/ but now it's starting to feel messy
 and confusing, although not unworkable.

 Part of this whole issue was to get to these template parts but perhaps I
 overlook some obvious means to this end or for that matter maybe I'm just
 missing a glaring point in all this :)

 As for the prefix 'index' not sure what else it could be named it doesn't
 feel ideal but perhaps  not really something to worry too much over and  -
 although never thought it great - does follow the WP convention for
 'home.php' & 'index.php'

 All in all if we ended up simply rolling with your last patch r-a-y I for
 one would feel it a vast improvement on present capabilities and other
 issues manageable by the developer in question at the time.
