See the CanUseDifferentDependencySetWithinAnInterface test case.

It could be that there is more than one instance of the same class and each instance needs to fill the dependency differently:

abstract class Scientist {

    function __construct(Publisher $publisher) {
        $this->publisher = $publisher;
    }
    function getPublisher() {
        return get_class($publisher);
    }
}
class Dawkins extends Scientist {}
class Hawking extends Scientist {}

interface Publisher {}
class AmericanPublisher implements Publisher {}
class BritishPublisher implements Publisher {}

class CanUseDifferentDependencySetWithinAnInterface extends UnitTestCase {

    function testCanSetDifferentPreferencesForInstancesOfTheSameClass() {
        $globe = new Phemto();
        $britain = $globe->getSubgraph();
        $america = $globe->getSubgraph();

        $globe->register('Dawkins');
        $america->register('AmericanPublisher');
        $britain->register('BritishPublisher');
        
        $scientist = $britain->instantiate('Scientist');
        $this->assertEqual(
            $scientist->getPublisher(), 
            'BritishPublisher');

        $scientist = $america->instantiate('Scientist');
        $this->assertEqual(
            $scientist->getPublisher(), 
            'AmericanPublisher');
    }
