Is there anyway I can get how many instances of my object are instantiated from Pd? I could keep track of this myself, but I figure if I can get it from Pd, that would be all the better.

Nope... Pd doesn't track instances of things...
You could write C code to traverse all open canvases to find them, if you really wanted to.

So here's my problem:
An object's _free function is called when any instance is deleted. I need to send a free msg to the MacOS X HID Manager only when the last instance is deleted. Should I just use a global variable to keep track of the instances, or can anyone think of a better solution?

It can be static (doesn't have to be global) --- and that's the way I do similar things; this comes up all over the Pd source code.
