Yeah, Illustrator-returned references are pretty fragile, although  
it's less of an issue if you create an object then apply all of your  
desired transformations to it before you create the next one.

IIRC, objects aren't named by default; however you could generate your  
own unique names easily enough. Assign each object a unique name via  
the 'make' command's 'with properties' parameter, and then use that  
name in any future references you construct yourself.
