That's how it looks on the inside. IIRC, if you actually code this
and walk into the room with the thisone object, your room description
will show the thatone object as being on thisone, not in it.
(Something about Ditch.t and the desk drawers comes to mind. The
drawers are actually located in the room, not the desk, or something
like that.)

Not that I'm disagreeing with your statement, but I haven't done that
sort of thing since my first week of programming. ;) *shrug*
