And especially instance "a" would be lost unless instances of class B1
have a reference back to an instance of A.  Basically instance of A in
this scenario is completely superfluous.  If B1's can only be created
via A.new then a method like this would be the way to go

def create(...)
  A.new(...).foo
end

Kind regards
