                                     java.lang.Object relatedObject)
```
    Remove the reference of a related object from an object of the base class.
    If the related object is PersistanceCapable, the field will be set null. If the related object is a Collection, then the related object will be removed from the Collection.
    If any changed occured, transactionContext.markModified will be called, to indicate the object is modified.
    It method will iterate thur all of the object's field and try to remove all the occurrence.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tx - the TransactionContext of the transaction in action
    
    object - the target object of the base type of this ClassMolder
    
    relatedMolder - the ClassMolder of the related object to be removed from the object
    
    relatedObject - the object to be removed
    
    Returns:
    
    Various flags related to updating/removing object instances.
