[Lazarus] LazReport, how to mix data from multiple datasets?

For the record:

in the report designer the band has a "Dataset" property and you can 
assign to it the name of a TRfDbDataset on the form.
I tried that previously and it didn't seem to work.
After some painful debugging (which involved a complete rebuild of the 
lazarus ide, don't ask me why, I'd like to know), I found out that the 
property value, in spite of being there in the lrf file, wasn't being 
read, but in the next debug session it was. Again, don't ask me why, but 
now everything seems to be ok.

Bye
