There are 2 different places a class member can be instantiated, at the
class level of within a method :

>>
class MyClass {
    AClass ac = new AClass(); // instantiated at class level
    YetAnotherClass yac;

    void someMethod(){
        yac = new YetAnotherClass(); // instantiated with a method
    }
}
>>

Are there an reasons I would choose one over the other?
Also, what if the class object was static?

thanks for your help
