I'm posting this for future hapless n00bs like myself who find this thread while trying to grok perspective broker.
It seems to me that the right way to fix this issue with being able to pass Cacheable and Viewable instances as arguments to mind.callRemote methods would be to "attach" a perspective to that mind, possibly during login (with a means for doing in manually as well).
By looking around in the source code and doing more experiments I have figured out that you can just do this
mind.perspective = thePerspectiveIWantToAssociateWithThisMind
Oops, I wrote my previous reply without having seen this message! :-). And yes, I'd totally forgotten that that's a way to do it, because the documentation is horrible and it's been years since I worked on a PB-based application. I would strongly encourage you to contribute documentation enhancements that add the requisite level of docstring coverage to PB. Thanks for your interest so far. -glyph
