The simplest answer to your question is to assign object2 to object1
at the very beginning of your code, but that is a very naive solution
and can easily fail based on lots of factors.
What's your context: A single source file? Many source files? A live
application with persistent data?
What are your two objects? Do they provide an identical interface?
