You did not tell much more about your data and procedures. Each object 
type has some distinct way of indexing and you can not mix them up. 

x<-1:10
> x[5]
[1] 5
> x[[5]]
[1] 5
> x[5,]
Error in x[5, ] : incorrect number of dimensions

> x<-list(1:10)
> x[1]
[[1]]
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

> x[5]
[[1]]
NULL

> x[[5]]
Error in x[[5]] : subscript out of bounds

> x[1][5]
[[1]]
NULL

> x[[1]][5]
[1] 5

Nobody except you has your data available, so without providing more clues 
you can not expect mor relevant answers.

Try str(your.objects) and maybe you could use debug to see how they are 
operating and changing through a cycle.
