If the argument to obj3() is the initial value of prop1, then yes.  It 
depends on how you define things.  You need to decide that based on 
what's the best programming model, not on what you may be able to 
implement (as with help from the group here, you'll soon be able to 
implement many things ;-).  If you want obj3 to construct a new object 
on each call, then I suggest you give it a name that connotes that fact: 
createObject, newObject, constructObject, or some such.
