I was working on some framework code where each class would have a 
nested class containing meta information about the outer class 
(because all properties would be treated in a special way by the 
framework). 

I needed to inherit two classes and got confused when they didn't 
inherit their meta information - but referenced it :)

That would be fun ;-)
