4373	object tracking not working when pointer is serialized before class member	anonymous	Robert Ramey	"I'm not sure if this is a bug or a limitation of Boost.Serialization.
I haven't found anything in the documentation saying that this limitation exists though.
it's certainly unexpected if you don't think about serilization internals:

struct B{
  //Serializable
};

struct A{
  B *bptr;

  B b;

  template<class Archive>

  void serialize(Archive &ar,unsigned int){

    ar & bptr;  //error

    ar & b;

  }

};

if bptr is pointing to b, the object can not be loaded correctly. I'm not sure what actually happens, I guess there is a duplicate created, but bptr isnt equal to &b after serialization, as it was before serialization.

b must be serialized before bptr for this to work.
