               6.   A multi-layer composition comprising:                             
               a)   a barrier layer; and                                              
               b)   a structural layer comprising:                                    
                    i)   about 79 to about 99 weight parts thermoplastic              
          crystallizable or crystalline polyester base resin having a                 
          glass transition temperature (“Tg”) of at least about 50°C,                 
          and a melting point of at least about 150°C and an intrinsic                
          viscosity (IV) of at least about 0.5; and                                   
                    ii) an alkali metal salt of a polyester polymer in                
          an amount sufficient to provide the structural layer with                   
          about 6.5 x 10  gram-atoms to about 15 x 10  gram-atoms of-7                         -6                               
          active alkali metal per gram of polyester defined in i).
