I just tried that and it didn't work (in quotes it prints something like
"Object 3->stateName", out of quotes it throws an error because of the {}).

Indeed. It looks like (for me) the best way to go is to use getter/setter
methods for properties that are not objects, and to set properties that are
objects to be publicly accessible.  That will at least reduce the properties
that can be accidentally overwritten.

thanks everyone for the help --
