Are you trying to say that the size/offsets can vary for two objects
of the same type within the same scope? Or are you trying to say that
the positions/types of the sam object can vary within the scope of the
object?
Actually, I'm not sure what the "scope" of an object means. I view an
object as a piece of data, which has a lifetime, but not a scope. Things
that are declared like variables or types have scope. So I'm not at all
sure what's meant here.
