DataMapper ORM v1.8.0

I do understand what you're saying, I mentioned in my previous post that I know that object's data will be overwritten, by the 2nd query. My question really is: isn't it possible to save objects current attributes to, say, a multidimensional array, run another query to fetch another result, and than save that to the next array, and so on. Can't an array be completely unaware of the object that passed the data to it?

Because as long as I want to manipulate given object's data I don't feel (I use the word "feel" often, because I'm still not that proficient in OOP, and go by guts a lot) it's necessary to make new objects, but rather save and pass the data I need from the current object.

Did I make any sense at all? Because the whole point of this rambling of mine is to try to understand things better, not to question common practice (or best practice). If anything, I'd like to learn them first, and question them later
