If you mean by "self-containing" whether these objects contain pointers to other objects then no, they aren't self-contained.

[...] I'm not sure whether that remark answers the original question... However, there is only *one* static variable in GWEN_GUI: The pointer to the GWEN_GUI object chosen by the application. This static variable exists for good reasons which I explained in very long discussions on the list. Other static variables in GWEN are those holding objects which can only exist once per application. They were also very selectively chosen. So there aren't really a "whole bunch" of static variables; there are just a few which in fact are necessary for Gwen to work correctly and which have been carefully chosen.
