After thinking about this, I can move the children list / parent 
capability attrbiute into individual objects.

As for the 'parent' pointer, should I even bother moving it out of the 
Object struct? After all I cannot think of any object that cannot have a 
parent. Since Object is the 'superclass', an attribute that applies to 
all 'objects' should be inside it.

Should I leave the parent pointer inside Object or move it?
