it is indeed possible to refer to the self instance

in fact uml spec 2.5b1 page 607, about a lifeline is said. if the name is the keyword self, then the lifeline represents the object of the classifier that encloses the interaction that owns the lifeline. ports of the encloser may be shown separately even when self is included.
