I just  realized that the current design is relatively  safe. If the 
interface goes out of context before the call to _Release, the 
referenced object will be set to nil. This will prevent a second call to 
_Release. Is not the ideal but i'll stay with it for now.

Thanks for Cesar and Joao for all that info.
