in reply to Re^5: An object replacing itself
in thread An object replacing itself

None of my objects contains a reference to itself. One object contains a reference to the objects that come after it in a collection. When the next object is loaded, the list is shortened by one and transferred over.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    That still makes the object a container object. They should only be there if they are intrinsic to the object. If they don't belong to it, they shouldn't be in its possession.

      ... in your opinion ;->

      I see what you're saying, I have to think about whether I agree. I don't think it's nearly as clear cut as to be objectively called "better," but maybe I'll change my mind :-]

      Thanks again.
