It is not clear at all (to me) what you mean by 'inheriting variables'.
As Chad and myself pointed out, you seem to be suggesting that you
want to share access to some state but the exact scope of the sharing
isn't really clear.  I've suggested a couple of ideas, and I understand
that they are not as simple as 'attr :foo', but I'm not sure if it is  
the
syntax or the semantics that is problematic for you.
