Hi Alex,
As far as I can tell VFP does the following:
1.) Stores the datasession ID that was current when the object was created
2.) Swaps in the datasession in 1.) whenever a method on the object is called
3.) Keeps a count of how many objects are associated with each private datasession and releases the datasession when the count reaches 0.
4.) Assigns the datasession of the parent object to a child created with AddObject

I have actually used the behavior in 3.) to create a datasession object for use in pre VFP6 development.

HTH,
Ned
