The simplest answer to your question is to assign object2 to object1
at the very beginning of your code, but that is a very naive solution
and can easily fail based on lots of factors.

What's your context:  A single source file?  Many source files?  A live
application with persistent data?

What are your two objects?  Do they provide an identical interface?
