OpenThread and closing multiple thread handles

I have a thread handle A which I got using OpenThread. Later in my program I need to use OpenThread again on the same thread and to get its handle again, let's call it handle B.
Looking at the "watch" window, I can see that A != B.
When the thread dies I want to close its handle.
Would it be enough to close just handle A or just handle B? or do I need to close all the handles?
Can I ask OpenThread to give me a handle that I already got from it before, or will it always give me new handles?

You have to close every handle. There is no way to get an existing handle from OpenThread, it will always create a new handle.

However, your problem description suggests that there is a deeper architectural problem here. Why do you want to do this?
