Hi Nick, Thread safe ref/unref makes no differences to circular references that you create in your application/scene graph. It's simply not safe to create circular references, you have to break them to be able to avoid memory leaks and the best way to do this is to use an osg::Observer, observer_ptr<> or a straight C pointer. The later you have to be careful about dangling pointers though.
