Hey Rasta,

in no circumstances... is there one example in which one organism performs an action in which some way a benefit, even if not immedeatly obvious, is not gained.

I don't think that your perspective is really different from how scientists think about these concepts - it may just be a matter of semantics. Evolutionary scientist have long discussed the evolutionary basis of altruism along the lines you describe.
When a behavioral ecologist sees a baboon preferentially protect siblings/nieces/nephews, or fight along side of non-relative troop members, they may refer to it as "altrustic", simply as a means to characterize the immediate situation. However, this doesn't mean that the ecologist is ignorant of the fact that the baboon is also receiving indirect benefit from the situation.
In other words, the term "altruism" doesn't always mean "100% selfless".
