It seems normal to me that it is not just the current instance. You KNOW this method is there, in a descendent, so it seems logical that you know that it exists for another instance as well.
Coming from a Delphi background, I disagree here. As I understood the Delphi docs, protected methods are only visible in the current instance (decendant), and not instances passed in as parameters. Reading the docs again, I am not sure what happens when both those classes appear in the same unit. This then becomes like the "friend" classes used in C++ and C# and might be allowed in such a case... Quite confusing... :-) Here is a snippet of the Kylix 3 docs: ------------------------ ...
