If you are using interfaces & reference counting ala COM to control lifetime
management (eg Descended from TInterfacedObject) you can't have each
interface referencing each other, else they will never die.
Otherwise Interfaces will solve your problem very nicely - you can just
implement dummy _addRef & _Release which do have any effect on lifetime
management.
