Resources don't generally own each other, so this isn't really an 
issue. I had code which would request a resources from a shared 
store, and then the shared store would keep a weak-pointer to the 
resource and give out shared pointers to whoever asked. When no 
one was using the resource anymore, it would be freed 
automatically.
