Hmm, when the first reference is stored in a global variable, as was my 
intention, what happens to the refcount when a method is invoked 
immediately from that reference?

var ShareObj: ISomething;
...
ISomething.DoSomething;

Would a function (property getter...) help, that returns the reference, 
instead of a simple variable? I'm a bit clueless right now :-(

Thanks for the hint anyway :-)
