You are adding the same data object instance to the clipboard multiple 
times.  I expect that it would work if you create a new instance for the 
new objects.  On the other hand, I don't believe that putting multiple 
objects of the same type in the clipboard will do you any good.  The 
purpose of having more than one piece of data in the clipboard is so the 
receiving app can choose one of several formats to paste.  For example, 
text, bitmap, or a custom format.
