See my slightly modified test.pas program from earlier. It seems that
using COM and 'as' is the preferred way when you want an object instance
from an interface reference. I never noticed the compiler Warning in my
previous test.pas program.

attached is a new test.pas and it clearly shows that you CAN call a
method and reference a property without problems.... as long as you use
COM interfaces.

Here is the new program output:

[tmp]$ ./test
via interface: My Caption
Pass: we got the object
Hello from the object
via object instance: My Caption
