Time ago there was an interesting article on the arxiv title "Trialogue", about h, c, and G as fundamental dimensionful constants. A doubt can be raised additionaly: which is the more interesting mathematical object, [tex]G_N[/tex] or [/tex]L_p[/tex].
If Planck's length is the fundamental object, one can recover Gauge QFT in a single limit L-->0, but a double limit is needed to recover Newton's constant: h-->0, L--->0. And the single limit h-->0 is rather strange, because if Planck's length (and c) remains finite then G goes to infinite.
