I think we are having a problem understanding what you are asking.
If you mean an instance of class foo contains an instance of
class bar how would bar reference attributes or other data in
foo then I think I'll tackle that one.  The best way I've seen
is the way that wxWindows does it.

class bar:
    def __init__(self, parent)
        self.parent=parent

    def somemethod(self):
        print self.parent.somelist


class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.somelist=['a','b','c']
        self.bars=[]
        self.bars.append(bar(self))


At least that's the way I understand it and it seems to work.  If
this isn't what you are asking just disregard.
