It could easily be a PHP problem.
Could you paste the IDL for the method in question here please, so that
I can make a similar COM object here to
test against.
If you're unsure about how to get it, ask the people
that made the DLL.

Description:
------------
I'm trying to pass a COM class into a member function of another COM
class object. The second object chokes.

One class is the connection with the database.
The second is something that needs to connect.

Reproduce code:
---------------

$Conn = new COM("some.Conn");
$Conn->Connect( 'database', 'user', 'pass');

// this object is works fine.

$Customer = new COM("some.Customer");
$Customer->Connect( $Conn );  // KLABAM!

Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect the $Customer->Connect() function to accept the $Conn as
being a "Conn" object and just connect.

Actual result:
--------------
"Error number: 97
Error description: Can not call friend function on object which is not
an instance of defining class"

This error comes from the object. 
The Customer->Connect function calls a friend function to do something
with the Conn object. This function does not believe the object is a
living Conn object and spittes it out.

The whole thing works perfectly in C, VC++, VB, Jscript, VBscript (ASP)
and Delphi.

I've called the company that made the DLL, and they think the Conn
object I pass isn't a real Conn object, but a simulation / emulation.
Or a "COM" object of course.

I've tried converting it to a more MS-like thing with the VARIANT
class, but it doesn't seem to do much good. (type mismatch)

So is this a PHP problem, or didn't the ones who made the DLL read the
COM specifications too well?
