I guess that the requirement for 11 levels must be due to multiple variations of the same class being required depending upon the specification of the class environment.
This would be better served using a class factory. That way the classes could be discrete and easily maintained.

If you need geniuses to modify that, then that's mean that it's not intended to be maintained by someone else, so expect a high cost of maintenance, and pray that those devs don't let you down.
