No, you don't.  obj_file_elem is for the rent files (the comment right
above the structure will tell you that).  All it does is save values
which may have been changed for that particular instance of the
object.  For instance, the condition of the object should be added
there.  This is so that a player can't have a broken sword, quit/rent,
and return with a mint condition blade.  OTOH, the material of the
object is not likely to change, nor is the classification.
