The reason I know this is because it works the first time I create this collection, 
but then when I clone the object, and try to view it's insides using the debugger 
(Zend IDE 3.5) by pressing on the plus sign (indicating that it recognizes this as an 
instantiated object), it suddenly says the insides are null, and throughs a PHP notice 
(the one in the subject) to the debugging console. 
 
How can you explain that?

        There are many things that can be going wrong. First thing is that
        your collection object is relying on an external value for its
        internal index.
        
        Second, being that it is external, the value may be repeating
        itself, or as what has been pointed out earlier, is being converted
        to true/false.
        
        Third, from the looks of the code, it looks like your trying to
        force the index to be the order of the position of the object:
        
            <?php
            $ar[5] = 'last';
            $ar[1] = 'first';
            $ar[4] = 'second';
        
            print_r($ar);
        
            /*
            Array
            (
               [5] => last
               [1] => first
               [4] => second
            )
            */
        
        As noted in the output, php simply pushes new key/values to the
        end.
        
        Fourth, how are you accessing the array to get the 'cannot find
        element in variable' error. I've never heard of such an error.
        
        And finally, print_r($this->arr_objects), each time you Add(), and
        see how exactly the array looks each time.  If you have more than
        two elements after the last Add(), then your iterator is most
        likely not working properly.

        First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
        you've been hearing about.  No, sir.  Our model is the trapezoid!
