i'm not sure this is clear for me, but depending of context, you can:
1)inerhit class b frm a,
or
2)apply a decorator pattern

Subject: [CFCDev] object compostion question


Say I have object A.  A has a property x.  x is an Array of object P.
P has properties m,n.  Now I create a new object B that has a property
y where y is an Array of object P.  But in B's case, P needs an extra
property e.

Is it common to create two differnt P objects in this case?  Or just
create one P with properties m,n, and o when A uses P it can just
ignore o.

I know, common response is 'It depends'.  I'm just looking to see if
there is a "watch out this approach will muck things up usually"  or
"seems ok".  In my case P is an object with Empoyee information.
Sometimes it needs to have say 3 properties, other times 4.
