Comment (by egourgoulhon):

 Here is another proposal, which is a kind of mix between Hierarchy-1 and
 Hierarchy-3:
 {{{

 Hierarchy-4:

  AbstractAmbient           AbstractSet              AbstractSubset

 Contrary to Hierarchy-1, it has no diamond problem and involves no mixin
 class.
 As in Hierarchy-3, the class `AbstractAmbient` implements only the methods
 `union` and `intersection`, but contrary to Hierarchy-3, the classes for
 ambient objects (`TopologicalManifold`, `DifferentiableManifold`, etc.) do
 no longer have the attribute `_manifold`. This attribute is present only
 in the sub-object classes `OpenTopSubmanifold`, `OpenDiffSubmanifold` and
 `OpenSubinterval`, as in Hierarchy-1. In Hierarchy-4, the attribute
 `_manifold` is inherited from `AbstractSubset`. The class `ManifoldSubset`
 implements generic (not open) subsets of a manifold.
 The classes `TopologicalManifold` and `OpenTopSubmanifold` do not
 implement
 any new method by themselves: most methods are implemented in their parent
 abstract class `TopologicalManifoldOpenSet`, like `chart()`, `atlas()`,
 `scalar_field_algebra()`, etc.
 Similarly, methods for differentiable manifolds, like `vector_frame()` or
 `tensor_field()`, are implemented in the abstract class
 `DifferentiableManifoldOpenSet`.
