In reply to Tudor Timi:
I don’t think so. You have to pass the sequencer handles somewhere, so either you do it in an init_vseq() method (see the Cookbook) or you have to make the actual connections between the agent sequencers and the pointers in the virtual sequencer. Granted, using the virtual sequencer could allow you to make these connections in the environment instead of the test, but using init_vseq, you could make the connections in a base test, so there’s not much difference.
