I confess to not fully understanding your question, but perhaps a (sort 
of) singleton object might do it?  In the ClientFactory (or whereever 
the SSHChannel is created), instantiate the singleton object and then 
assign the SSHChannel to a variable tacked onto it.  You can assign 
'self' to such a variable too. Then every time you instantiate that 
singleton object again, it has the reference already in it.

I use the 'Borg' class to do this and I've used it to store references 
to a netstringReceiver in my own Twisted code.
