Dear Anton,
I don't think you met here any CINT limitation rather C++ constrains.
Via CINT one can access whatever one him/herself has added to his/her CINT dictionary
If you want to access the custom global variable MyClass you have to have this global
variable in you custom dictionary or you have to have some class method (still in CINT
dictionary) that returns you this variable.
Of course the first question you should answer is about the scope of the variable "MyClass".
I had assumed it is global one. If it is the local variable then C++ provides you an answer,
namely any object is to be destroyed just the code leaves that object scope and the object
is not "visible out of its scope. In your case the object is the "TMyClass *"
See CINT documentation how to create CINT dictionary properly.
ROOT code provides plenty of examples of global variables definitions those are available
via CINT interpreter.
Hope this helps
Valery
