I would suggest you to have a look to

The Author of the demo is Jhon Kanding. He posted the URL on May 2th 2001.
A .dcr is used there as Lingo libray in place of an LDM, bur the concept seems
similar to the one described by Jakob Hede Madsen for an LDM, that's instantiating in
RAM the structure of an object and accessing their props and method by an handle
passed back to the main program before the .dcr closes.
The source code of the demo is downloadable. I found it excellent on the .dcr's side.
Hope this help,
