What about making the properties protected and extending the class down into a "reflector" class which is used to spy on it's parents? To get a true copy of the original, couldn't you also access the protected properties though an instance of the parent class? I know you can access the private properties in an instance of the same class, so wouldn't this also be true for the protected properties of a parent? Just an idea, haven't really tried this myself.
