If you look higher up in the stub .hh file, you'll see

  typedef _CORBA_ObjRef_OUT_arg< _objref_InterfaceOne,
      InterfaceOne_Helper > InterfaceOne_out;

So they are actually the same type. It's a bit odd not to use the _out
type name in the skeleton signature, but I don't think it does any
harm.

Cheers,

Duncan.
