The question of the year ;-) I think, it's VFP bug. Nevertheless, I have choosed such a way -

PUBLIC name1,name2
DO FORM form1 NAME name1 LINKED
DO FORM form2 NAME name2 LINKED

* now you can reference any properties of theese forms. For example,
name1.caption or name2.height without any errors.
Release forms on completion with RELEASE name1,name2 (erasing both variables and forms,linked with them).
