>>>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.

So you're passing an object reference of oxHandler to oxServer? Where do you save this object reference? From oxServer you would be able to access oxHandler through this.oxHandlerReference (what is the name of the object property you're saving the oxHandler reference?)
