Possible problem with Post Object Documentation

I am probably wrong here, but I think there might be an issue with your documentation on the Post Object field found here: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/post-object/

My issue is with this section of code under Single Template Usage:

if( $post_object ): 

	// override $post
	$post = $post_object;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 

	?>

Do we not need to first reference global $post before running setup_postdata? I was having issues displaying the data in one of my templates until I passed the reference to global $post.

Did I miss something?
