Hi!

Well, little of programmers use 'containership' word, usually 'reference'. 'Containership' - it is when object put on the form or container in design time or added by AddObject/NewObject. 'Reference' - if reference to existing object is assigned to property of form or container. When you use containership, only form can initialize object, then it could be used by reference. Existing objects could not be added to form by way if it is containership (similar to AddObject).
