That should work (or I've misunderstood the problem).
"std::vector<const ElemProt>" means pass-by-value. Could that have
caused trouble? (E.g. if you didn't have a copy constructor defined.)

If so, std::vector<const ElemProt*> might work? (Or better is vector of
smart pointers, so you don't have to worry about memory management.)
Or, define a copy constructor.
