What happens if you use private inheritance?

eg.

class OrbitCPP_Object : private CORBA_Object
{
...
};

My understanding (although I haven't used private inheritance for
years) is that this should make the internal data storage of the
OrbitCPP_Object the same as a CORBA_Object (so casting between them
is possible), but the storage structure will not be publicly
available to clients of OrbitCPP_Object.

Is this what you need?
