I don't think anyone has attempted to include a framework in an FB5  
build. Try along these lines.

[1] Tell FB5 to put Foo.framework inside the app, at <app_name>/ 
Contents/Resources/.
include resources "Foo.framework"

[2] Get the function pointers as you do currently.
dim as pointer  gBar
gBar = fn MyGetFuncPointer( "Bar" ) // or whatever

[3] Instead of horrible FB4 assembler glue, simply declare prototypes  
for your functions, with a 'using' clause to specify the function  
pointer.
def fn Bar( param as SomeType ) as SomeOtherType using gBar


Your framework will be in <app_name>/Contents/Resources/ instead of  
<app_name>/Contents/Frameworks/, which may or may not be a problem.
