Jump to PostI 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; };

class localtime
{
};
class date
{
};
class timedate
{
localtime tm;
date dt;
}; Fbody commented: Agreed, containment is much easier. :) +1

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?
