Right, you only WANT 1 gnc_commodity* object per commodity. That's
exactly what you want. Similarly you only want one Account* object
per account, one Transaction* object per transaction, etc.

Probably because Accounts are always loaded first so you'll always have
all your commodities before you load any transactions.
