In any case it is not correct place to call counting from AddLink handler.
Call it from other place.

     count = link.countLinked(i, person, phones)

This line itself is correct.

Mistake in your code is that you need loop TO table.PhysicalRecordCount.

Do you say that our example use Table.RecordCount ???
Then this is also mistake.

I mean that V4MD API (and other) do not have such function now.

It seems you need something as

    Vlink.getTotalLinksCount

Well, why not. I think this function can be fast and not hard todo.

Add it into Mantis as request please.
