Yes.
But, objects, that collect other objects are collection objects. OO  
is about reusing code. So a programmer shouldn't re-implement  
collection objects. He should reuse the ones, that are already there.  
Which means, that the persistence library can also replace them or  
part of them, so that they use an optimized memory management.
