Best i can imagine, this is what happens if you are terrified of smart pointers, but also want to make all object pointers scope specific. So at every layer of hierarchy, you have a unique reference to some partial implementation above and below it.

Honestly I struggle to imagine any real scenario where this would make sense... except maybe like some kind of insane recursive factory.
