I didn't say it affects other classes; I mean it forces the visibility
of the base members to at least be internal.
But if you didn't want that, you have to compromise your design.

And if the framework/tool supported this facility as a built-in feature,
it would either only be applicable in a very small subset of cases, or
would remove the ability to have private members - think outside your
immediate needs and think about the general case (which is what the
framework/tools guys have to)
