I would probably use containment. Don't use the name 'time' because that symbol is already used in time.h

class localtime
{

};

class date
{

};

class timedate
{
  localtime tm;
  date dt;
};

The term localtime is an existing symbol too. I wasn't 100% sure at first, the syntax highlighting in your code block actually tipped me off...

Probably better off using something a little more obfuscated, ?or even in a different language?. Perhaps use customTimeClass, leTemps (it's French, "the time") or something of that nature?
