 no, not really : you make the confusion between a variable and an object.

 For example with

   a = b = 12

 there are 2 variables and only one object, but with

   a = [1, 2]

 there are 1 variable and 3 objects

N> #!/usr/bin/env ruby
N> a = proc { a = 1 }
N> puts "a is a #{a.class}"
N> a.call
N> puts "a is a #{a.class}"

 In your example, this is just that the variable make reference to another
 object.
