>>You want to access properties and functionality of an object which is not related to your other object. Moreover, you want to access this functionality from the object which has this object as a reference. It goes against OOP principles and I really don't see a way around it, though I'm very tired and upset right now, can not think straight. May be Hugo or Rich have a better idea.

I'm still not getting it. I simply want to know the value in another object. Can I just say "oxServer.oSock.State" from within the oxHandler object? Nadya may be tired, but I'm new to all this oop stuff and just dont' get it.
