You could of course have a global reference to the Security class or
do something a bit more involved if needed for other reasons.

Here is one way  (think of TheWorld as your Security World:
In a *.bas module in the activeX add
'
Public gTheWorld As TheWorld
'
Public gDoIExist As Boolean     ' does the gTheWorld object exist?
                                ' set on initialize and terminate

In the one Security module in the activeX add
'
'********************
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    
    gDoIExist = True
    
End Sub

Then in the Operator MultiUse Class

Dim WithEvents mTheWorld As TheWorld  ' local reference to the global World

'************************
' Initialize()
'
' Set reference to TheWorld
'************************
Private Sub Class_Initialize()

    ' always  need  1 global TheWorld obj
    If Not gDoIExist Then
        Set gTheWorld = New TheWorld
    End If

    Set mTheWorld = gTheWorld
    mTheWorld.NewReference   ' this method can keep track of who's "looking at security"
				' then remove this reference when in the terminate
    
End Sub
