You shouldn't get TT List virtual methods on objects - either you have a list
and so get list virtual methods like first, or you have a
scalar/reference to an object and first will be provided by that
object,  along with scalar vmethods ( unless they clash).

You may want to take a close look at what context your resultsets are
in in the template, and decide if you need the TT list vmethods or the
resultset iterator objects methods.
