Hi, sorry for the late reply.

You can do this, at least in the latest release (1.1-beta1, today).
However you can't create two objects with the same name, so don't use the
new object tool, just drag the object from the list on the left.

However I was always taught to just do a call from one object to the same
object, which is also possible in this programme.

------------
| myObject |
------------
    |
    |----
    |   |myMethod()
    |<---
    |

Is that what you're after?
