> the same object can be part of multiple containers at once
I'm not sure I understand this one. Since the object contains the reference to where it belongs inside a container (e.g. object.node.next) how can it be re-used in multiple containers.
Conversely, in a non-intrusive data structure, multiple containers can hold a ref to the same object through an intermediate node object
