This is the expected behavior. In the current implementation in trunk, re- opening a file always returns the already-opened handler, so closing any of the handler, will automatically close all the others. You can use the `File.isopen` attribute in order to determine if the status of the file handler and re-open it manually, if necessary. This is not the same behaviour as `open()` in Python, but at least the above behaviour allows to re-open the same file many times.
