The trick was that the public DoForm method calls Protected _DoForm method. So I can not use pcount it in and have to pass it from the public method as an additional parameter. That worked, but after reading all the responses I got I'm not so sure this technique is really good one.

Anyway, I may leave this as is for now, since I'm now facing more problems because I tried to combine two existing different frameworks into one.
