Hi Laura, I think what you're talking about is generally known as partial mocking and is deliberately not supported by Mockito. If you think you need it then it might be first worth looking to see whether you can break you're class up to keep more strictly to the single responsibility principle. If you look through the Mockito mailing list archives,
e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/mockito/search?group=mockito&q=partial&qt_g=Search+this+group you'll find a number of discussions of this topic.
