Can I string together object references, eg: $foo->bar()->try() ?

No. This will be available in PHP 5.

If you do it in two steps it will work, i.e.:

  $temp = $foo->bar();
  $temp->try();

Are you using simple "getter" functions you might consider doing it like:

  $obj->foo_->bar();

Where "obj" points to an object having a "foo_" object variable having a
"bar()" function. It works but might not be exactly what you're looking
for :-/
