You are on the right track, and are asking the right questions..

You could create a factory for it.. myObjectFactory, and the client 
would just use that. or you could use one of the simple embeddable 
containers, such as picocontainer, and put myObject and all of its 
dependencies in the container and have the client retrieve myObject 
from the container (or even hide the container behind a factory / some 
type of facade)
