Thanks Uma, but, and here is the real question... Once a Field model is 
instantiated, how can I get access to the current record model to test 
if this field should be editable or not.

As I have said the only way I have seen so far is to pass information 
through three classes

  {Detail,Edit}RecordStructure.php->Block.php->Field.php

Is there a way I can "read" or access the current record model from the 
Field model directly?

Thanks

Alan
