Some conjectures are given about the sensitivity of the behaviour of the stellar orbits (appearance of resonant orbits, possible interaction of resonances etc.) to the set of parameters characterizing a simple realistic ‘spheroid + nucleus’ mass model of our Galaxy. Connections with a systematic exploration of orbits in Schmidt mass models are mentioned. Finally we present arguments in favour of the existence of a third integral for the whole solar neighbourhood old stellar populations, independently of the chosen model.
