Or perhaps an OS X change ?

Error:

Code:

-- WORKS IF RUN AFTER THE FOLLOWING CODE, 
-- BUT FAILS IF RUN BEFORE IT, OR IN A SCRIPT ON ITS OWN
tell application "TextEdit"
	tell front document
		current date
	end tell
end tell

-- WORKS
tell application "TextEdit"
	set oDoc to front document
	tell oDoc
		current date
	end tell
end tell

Reversed sequence --> no error:

Code:

-- WORKS
tell application "TextEdit"
	set oDoc to front document
	tell oDoc
		current date
	end tell
end tell

-- WORKS IF RUN AFTER THE PRECEDING CODE, 
-- BUT FAILS IF RUN BEFORE IT, OR IN A SCRIPT ON ITS OWN
