I've a question about EOs that I obviously haven't quite got right in my head.

I have a Product EO that I load from the database and filter into three 
categories for display/grouping purposes on-screen. I filter these into three 
new arrays. [This may or may not be the best way to do what I want to do here, 
but in any case my question is still puzzling for me]

When my page returns after a submission, I can find all the customer-selections 
in the original *tickets* NSArray as well as individually in each of the new, 
filtered arrays.

As it happens this my desired behaviour, just not my expected behaviour. It's 
great have all my selected products in the one *tickets* EO that I can work 
with in my cart.

My question is, though, why was the original *tickets* array updated when my 
page returned? The *tickets* array didn't feature anywhere in the WOComponent 
for that page. There's clearly something about the object references between 
the original array and the new, filtered, arrays that I'm not quite grasping.
