Hi Steve,

I guess I wasn't clear. I meant that property cannot be passed by reference.

>>I don't think you can do that in any OOP language because it would breake object encapsulation. The property doesn't exists by itselff, it belongs to the object. It means you can access it only thru the object. If you could pass property by reference than you would be able to "disconnect" property from the object because you would be able to reference it directly. Can you call it a property after that?
