yes, as the nature of a reference is something other than a copy.

in your shown example you modified the referenced TS by removing the wrap.
maybe you reference your lib.navigationMenu.stdItem multiple times - and 
always change it. so you have only one referenced lib-object where all 
these modifications accumulate.
