What if in the finalize method I make the object reachable.

<code>
class a
{
        b b1=null;
        ..
}

class b
{
        a a1=null;
        b(a a2)  //a2 is reachable
        {
            a1 = a2;
        }
        finalize
       {
                a1.b =this; //now "this" also reachable

      }
}
</code>
