Yes, that's the problem... I was thinking myself of something like this:
Object: aSpecialMorph
Methods:
-> from class Object:
-> from class Morph:
-> from class SpecialMorph:
Variables:
-> from class Object:
-> from class Morph:
-> from class SpecialMorph:
....where -> stands for a new treeview list item. Would be quite
manageable, I think, and would show the class relationship too, without
ignoring that it is an object in the first place, and not a class.
The instance variables would show aggregation, too. (Could be displayed
in the object explorer-way).

There's just one thing I hate about Mac owners ...and that is that I am
not one of them :-D
