This is a pretty common misconception about inheritance as people
first start getting into OO. You don't inherit at the *object* level,
you inherit at the *class* level. In other words, if you have a
Person object and set the first name to "Bob", inheritance isn't in
any way related to the situation wherein you want "child" objects to
also have the first name "Bob". Inheritance is designed to give child
objects the *functionality* of the parent class. It's behavior
related, not data related.
If you want a component to get data from another component ("inherit"
isn't the right term here at all), you would again pass the data in or
call getters on component A from inside component B.
