None is strange.

For not persistent objects it is useful for me
( in VFP a reference _WITHSTACK[level] lacks, but I cannot expect too much from the VFPT )

WITH CREATEOBJECT...
   .Prop1= ...
   .methodX
   =WITH_Procedure1(some parameters)
   WITH NEWOBJECT...

      ...
   ENDWITH
ENDWITH

PROCEDURE WITH_Procedure1(parameters)
   .Methods()
   .PropX = ....
   =WITH_Procedure2()
....
