I believe I've fixed the activation context exception (thanks for the 
help there!), but the initial problem still remains - changing the order 
of the cleanup did not help, any other thoughts?

Is there a good example of the specific order that VTK object cleanup 
should occur in and any specialized calls to be aware of (i.e. Finalize, 
RemoveAllViewProps, etc)?
