[TYPO3-mvc] Fluid - is there a way to check if an object is the first or last object?

nope, it has nothing to do with _cleanProperties - but you need a getter 
method for it in your object though.

But actually this should be neither part of the controller logic, nor a 
property of your object. This should move to a custom viewHelper like 
you asked in your other question.
