Right. So if a global variable "father" owns a reference to another global variable "child", I assume "child"'s refcount is higher than "father"'s one, let's say 2 for "child" ($GLOBALS + "father") and 1 for "father" ($GLOBALS), assuming they are not referenced elsewhere.
So why PHP can't guaranty that "father"'s destructor is called before "child"'s one?
He doesn't necessarily own a reference but tries to access it in the destructor.
