The simplest way to do it would be to write a base class, stick it in your vendors, and have the helper and component each extend it. This is kind of cheating, but as long as your helper doesn't need any of the Helper base class functionality, you should be good.
As far as the setFlash bit, Im not 100% sure what you mean, but sending your variables down to a custom flash layout should not result in messy code by any means, unless I'm not understanding your requirements here.
