Why is orientation a shared_array when MyNode is not copyable?
Shouldn't orientation be a scoped_array, or alternatively, info be a
shared_ptr?  I didn't see the copy-constructor or assignment operator,
so maybe you are manually doing a deep copy of info?

I didn't see initialize listed, so I can't comment.

Unfortunately I doubt I have been very helpful.  Have you had any luck
on the MEL forums?
