Just to be clear: lexical variables don't suffer
from this problem, even lexical variables at file scope.
That implies that lexicals are destroyed before global
destruction begins (which I believe to be true but I
haven't verified that beyond testing that lexicals don't
suffer from this problem).
To be extra clear: destroying a lexical variable won't
necessarilly destroy the object that it references. If
you have other references to that same object
and any of those reference manage to survive until global
destruction, then your object will survive until then as
well (and can so could then suffer from misordered
destructions).
