As it should, contained interfaces are one way to solve the problem 
there are other ways that are design/domain specific and yet again there 
is the option(already given here) to use interface variables instead of 
object variables, just make sure you set them to null on the destructor 
to release the interface.

I see no rabbit hole or any other problem in the code posted so far 
except perhaps lack of proper clean up which might be intentional.
