You probably meant

	let t = new foo ()
	let u = new foo ()

> t and u are two objects which don't share the list my_list.

Right, but you can push the lambda below the let, much like for function
definitions:

	class foo =
	let my_list = [ "foo" ; "bar"] in
	fun arg ->
	object
	  ...
	end

This should do what Michael wants.
