This is simplified, but oSock and oHandler are on the same level under the oxServer class. In oHandler is the Acknoledgement procedure that needs to know the current status of the port, which is in oSock. How do I make that reference? This.Parent doesn't seem to work as the oHandler is created before oxServer.

oxServer
   oSock
      State
   oHandler
     Acknowledgement procedure (needs to know value of oSock.State)
