Try using boost::intrusive_ptr as container for the classes. Worked for 
me when I did something similar. boost::intrusive_ptr requires you to 
write two additional functions, intrusive_ptr_add_ref and 
intrusive_ptr_release which takes a pointer as parameter should 
increases and decrease the refcount.
