They have to communicate.  The question is to they communicate directly via 
inheritance or indirectly via the framework.

The difficulty with using the framework to mediate the communication via 
forwarding functions is that communication is limited to exactly those 
forwarding functions and now others. And they are still there even when not 
needed.  The forwarding function also represent additional complexity.
