How can I make inheritance selectable?

I am doing some work in wireless. I wanted to select between Mac layer classes as such:

classdef myRadio < chosenMacLayer

where chosenMacLayer is a "variable" in that other code will swap it to the desired MAC layer. Can this be done?

Thanks! Tom

I don't think so. I gather that the approach to use in a situation like this would be to declare a class with virtual methods, and then the various Mac Layer classes would inherit from it and be responsible for instantiating the methods that differ between the sorts of layers.
