Can a unreachable object become reachable again ?

843789May 4 2009 — edited May 4 2009
An object becomes eligible for Garbage Collection,when it is not reachable by any instances of the program (is it ?) .So what will happen when the object's finalize() method is invoked and the object performs an operation which causes it to become accessible to reachable objects.

Thank you for your consideration.
