Description:
------------
When you use 2 singletons, the second singeleton also returns the instance of the first.
If you change the name of the variables, that store the instance of the singleton class, inside the singletons and make them both unique, the problem is solved though.

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://klaas.fiskaaf.com/singleton-bug.rar

or try

http://klaas.fiskaaf.com/singleton-bug.zip

Expected result:
----------------
Singleton1 - Singleton1
Singleton2 - Singleton2

Actual result:
--------------
Singleton1 - Singleton1
Singleton1 - Singleton2

    public function __Construct()

      Singleton1::GetInstance()->Write( "Singleton1" );
      echo "<br/>";
      Singleton2::GetInstance()->Write( "Singleton2" );
    }
  
  }

  new Main();

If error_reporting(E_ALL) is set, you will see that instead of setting $this in a singleton, $this is set in the Main class. Here is the notice:

Notice: Undefined property: Main::$instance in C:\eclipse\workspace\tmote\tmp_singles.php on line 12

Where line 12 is:
if( $this->instance == null )

Replacing $this->instance with self::$instance and 
private $instance = null;
with,
private static $instance = null;

Will make the code behave as expected.
