No, if the nesting is done properly you could guarantee that Obj2.Free
would be called even if Obj1.Free failed with some exception.  And
further, nested exception handling offers safeguarding against such
memory leaks during destruction if done properly.  To me this is the
difference between good software and great software... How well it
handles exceptions.
