You may want to take a look at my attempt: http://users.dimi.uniud.it/~nicola.vitacolonna/home/content/metappeal It is a library intended to provide a minimal framework for “oo-like” constructs. It is a work in progress (actually, I have not worked on it for a while since I didn't receive any feedback) and the documentation is a bit messy, but the core is stable and well tested and should be compatible with MetaFun. It is all based on a pair of macros that generalize MetaPost declarations, a first draft of which is shortly described here: http://oldwww.gust.org.pl/projects/pearls/2011p/index_html For the functionality you are describing, you may just need to grab the file metappeal.mp (and the files that it includes) and include it in your source.
