David,
There is one good reason... Some calls to CREATEOBJECT include the class library because there are classes with the same name in different libraries, so a search through all loaded libraries for a specific class name wouldn't necesarily return the correct class.
If I'd known before hand this kind of issue existed, I would have taken steps to ensure all class names were unique, however thats not the case and hind-sight's 20/20, meanwhile, I have a huge application with a serious problem.
Thanks,
- Aaron.
