Access Joomla 1.6+ object from External PHP

Question

I have read up on doing this, and actually implemented this, for v1.5 but will like some help on v1.6+.

v1.5 samples: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1559295

This is a follow on to my query here: Joomla 1.6 External PHP Interaction Issue which got no response ... maybe a bit too long and rambling.

Thanks for any help given.
