.............
when you 'make an 'object!, all strings, blocks and functions are copied.
that allows for example in 'layout :
box with[append init[my-inits]]
without destroying the original in box.
also blocks, like functions, are rebound.
so [make child-proto []] gives a copy of 'dataref, not the original.
but objects are not copied,
so the 'face/feel are all the same after [make face[]].
..................
That's why lot of people are asking RT for adding something like 'clone or
'make/deep ;-)
Or should it be a default Rebol's behaviour when working with objects?
