Glad to hear you got it working.

For reference, my simple solution to inheritance with CDBI is to have my 
superclass include just the columns I need to determine the type of 
object (primary key and a class ID), and override retrieve() to fetch 
that data, figure out which class this really is, and then just pass the 
  primary key to a retrieve() call on the right class.  It has more db 
interaction than your approach, but is also safer from changes in the 
internals.  I use a single table for all of the subclasses, so I don't 
need to do any acrobatics once I know which class I'm dealing with.
