As my application(s) became more complex, I also ran into topstack and curentcard issues. As a result, I am in the habit now of either using "of me" appended to every command of in a card or stack script, or else sending the long id of an object to a command or function that is not in the message path.
For instance, if I am processing all the fields on a card, I put the handler in the card script and then use the form 'field "myField" of me' to reference each field. Even better, if I reference the object repeatedly I will 'put the long id of <object reference> of me' into a variable initially, then use the variable as a reference.
