The acquisition machinery supports all this.
Have a look at the acquisition documentation
in "lib/Components/ExtensionClass/doc/Acquisition.stx".

  derive a new ObjectManager from Acquisition.Explicit and
  the current ObjectManager.

  provide an interface to manage the attributes that should
  be acquired implicitly.
