So WP 3.1 introduces the fancy WP_List_Class() causing me to rewrite all my custom admin tables. Fair enough. But...in the good'ol days, i was able to call my plugin methods using $this->method() as i included the page file within the method that got hooked to via add_submenu_page(). That was nice and somewhat elegant - or at least nice - i thought.

Now, though, my code has to live within the methods of My_WP_List_Class, which inherits from WP_List_Class. Since i can't do multiple inheritance, i seem to have to reference my global plugin instance or reinstanciate it within my class, either one of which makes me a little upset.

Class stacking doesn't seem to be an option either, because obviously i can't make WP_List_Class inherit from my plugin class, nor do i want to make my plugin class inherit from WP_List_Class.

Am i overlooking something or do i just have to live with it?
