> This is NOT the same as destroy refcounts of 1, then refcount of 2, etc. Hum... good point for you ;-) I was in a hurry to test your case within a function (local variables), and the objects were destroyed as expected. It's a bit frustrating to know that PHP perfectly handles destruction mechanism for local variables, but not for global variables...
