No, not directly. You either need to give TSmallObject a reference to its parent. Or set a pointer to the integer when you create it.

EG:

Type TBigObject

   Field Smaller_Object:TSmallObject
   Field Some_Variable:int = 15

   Method New()
      Smaller_Object=New TSmallObject
      Smaller_Object.Pointer = VarPtr(Some_Variable)
   End Method
End Type

Type TSmallObject
   Field Pointer: Int Ptr
End Type
