We have some code and SObjects and fields in a managed package that works when executed by other calls in that managed package as your would expect. The code looks like this.

private SObjectField dateField = BenefitClaimed__c.DateOfDisability__c;

public Boolean required(PaymentSpecification__c ps) {
    if (ps.BenefitClaimed__r.get(dateField) != null) {
        // Stuff done in here
    }
}

But this code (that is in a global class) is also executed from a separate managed package, and in that case does not appear to enter the "if" condition. Now if the dateField was a hard-coded string, I would be very suspicious of a problem because of a missing namespace prefix on the field name. But this seems less likely using an SObjectField token.

A colleague is about to add some debug code and repackage and test some more. But in parallel it would be helpful to know:

1. Is the namespace prefix automatically added to SOQL defined by the namespace prefix of the class the call is made from or by the namespace prefix of the entry point class of the request?
2. Is the above code at all likely to break when called rom a separate managed package?
