If you remove an object from lista the associated tlink is no longer valid and a new one created if the object is added to another list.

Local teststring:String="one"
Local list1:TList=CreateList()
Local list2:TList=CreateList()
Local mylink1:TLink=list1.addlast(teststring)
Print mylink1.tostring()
list1.remove(teststring)
Local mylink2:TLink=list2.addlast(teststring)
Print mylink2.tostring()

By keeping a variable pointer to the old tlink you keep it alive but, I believe, it doesn't point to anything (other than a memory block).
