Clarification requested:

Do you want instances of foo to be able to get access to the instance
variables of Foo itself?  Or do you want instances of Foo (such as
foo) to have their own instances variables called @goo and @boo, and
reader methods to access them?  You could do a bunch of different
variations on this but I'm not sure which scenario you're trying to
implement.
