That's ok. Because children are reported first, the parent's path will still be in place while the children are being unparented. Subclasses and the composition tree form two different dimensions, but in both cases the idea is to unparent bottom-up: 1) subclasses dictate the order in which to unparent a single object. The subclasses should be "disconnected" first, before moving up towards Object whose unparenting is done by object_parent_del_child. This way, when a subclass's unparent runs the superclass's bits are still in a good state. 2) the composition tree dictates the order in which to unparent multiple objects. Here children should be unparented first. This way, when a child's unparent runs the parent is still in a good state.
