Do autoreleased objects always survive a whole method?

autorelease

Hi,

If I'm correct then the releasing of the pool of autoreleased objects has something to do with the run loop.. I barely have an idea of what that 'run loop' is but my question is, is it possible that the object gets released before the end of the method is reached?
