The difficulty there is the varying ways in which OO access to
objects/classes/entities is implemented. 

The two environments I know of where calling between several OO languages
is supported are JVM and .NET. In both cases, languages whose usual way
of doing OO is different from Java and C#, respectively, tend to have to
be bent into shape.
