   I think you may be overcomplicating things, if for example; the
GContainerable or GContainerIface were implemented by GtkContainer; then
nothing in GtkContainer derivatives would really have to change (unless the
api was drasticly different... but I doubt that). Then this could be 
extended
to other object sets and other needs without having to rewrite large pieces
of code.
