I am aboout to use the object IO mechanism in NIHCL 3.0 to be able to tranfer
data transactions between two machines. What I have not figured out yet is
if you transfer an object that contains pointers to other objects, are the
objects pointed to transfered as well.


class Transaction : public Object {

private:
	int counter;
	someObject	*typeofdata;
	someOtherObject data;

..

}


I do not want typeofdata to be transfered in every transaction because that
will be to much overhead.
