As it stands in order to answer your question I/we require knowledge of 
how JUCE is designed.  So, I can't help you without investing a fair 
amount of time learning how JUCE works.  Sadly, it's unlikely I will 
find that time and therefore I wont be able to help.

I'm probably not the only one in that situation, sure there may be 
someone who already knows JUCE or is suficiently motivated to take a 
good hard look at it and get to know it, but you're better off lowering 
the bar by giving us a specific problem to solve.

So, I reckon if you took a specific piece of code from JUCE and asked 
how to solve the multiple inheritance or functionality problem in that 
piece of code you'll get many more responses.

Totally up to you of course.
