I suspect where misunderstanding each other here.  Are you saying that
whether a verb was -are, -ere, -e:re, or -ire was determined by if the
verb had a perfect/imperfect/stative meaning, or are you saying that the
tenses of Latin were arranged by perfect-imperfect-stative?  Your first
e-mail sounded like you meant the first, that there was meaning to being
-are, -ere, -e:re, or -ire, but this one sounds like you're talking
about the tenses.
