It all works no matter what a tangled mess of interconnections you
have. The worst that can happen is you end up serialising a lot of
dependent objects you forgot about.

The serialisation process keeps track of which objects it has already
written to the stream.  If it encounters a link to an already written
object, it just outputs a reference to it (I have not looked recently,
but it is probably just a serial number).  If it finds a new object,
it serialises it recursively, then outputs the link to it. 

I have forgotten if it keeps each object contiguous, by delaying write
or if it embeds.
