I believe a short version of your question is: "How can I get
multiple inheritance?" The short answer is that Objective-C does
not support multiple inheritance.
Yep. I know that, which is why I'm trying to find an elegant workaround.
Any solution I've missed?
Re-think your design so that the required ivars can be stored in a
delegate. If desired to make it more fool-programmer-proof and
reuseable, declare the delegate with an informal or formal protocol.
The problem there is that A doesn't have a delegate, and adding one
requires an ivar... back to square 1.
I'm trying to pretend I don't have access to the source for A, which
would be the case for a Cocoa class for example. Let's pretend that :)
Adding a 'delegate' ref would be just about acceptable, though it
would be unused entirely in the framework that provides the object.
