I agree on the idea, what should be defined in such cases too:

$myObjects = array();
$myObjects[] = $someObject;
$myObjects[] = $someOtherObject;

// both objects are of type tx_foo

Now at some point you do this:

foreach ($myObjects as $myObject) {

}

What about having in the CGL that $myObject should get a phpDoc @var 
comment too?
