Whether a program declares a global variable as private or not does
not affect the swapping characteristics of any referenced object
value.

Each persistent object is swapped individually. Each non-persistent
(light-weight) object is simply part of the data of a persistent
object, and is thus swapped with that persistent object.

Does this answer your question? Otherwise, please ask again, perhaps
somewhat more verbosely this time around. ;D
