Thats correct. And I believe some objects are in fact referenced more than
once. But be careful if you are using objects that do not conform to Zope
management interface. I had one bad experience where I created a lot of
instances of a custom persistent object and added them onto standard Zope
objects using an external method. Later some bugs in my object source
corrupted the whole ZODB. Jim Fulton pointed politely that I souldn't do
such bad things, but I think he was just too polite.

As it turned out you didn't have such bad thinks in mind.
