Brendan,

I GOT IT!  The difference between these two expressions:

  var t1 = object.method()
  var t2 = method()

Is that the former is resolved in ECMA-262 11.2.1, while the later is
resolved in 10.1.4.  And it is in 10.1.4 that the [[HasProperty]]
method is used to find the correct object in the scope chain.  Thanks
so much for your clarification.

BTW, I am having a blast integrating JavaScript into the project I am
working on.  At first when JavaScript was chosen, I was kicking and
screaming against the choice.  But now that I really understand the
object model behind it, I cannot say enough about it as an embedded
scripting language.

Cheers!
Pat
