If you want them "inherited" you need to define a "getprop" handler.

getprop porkNbeans
>      -- return your data here

>      -- set your data here
> end porkNbeans


Put those anywhere in the hierarchy to "inherit" the property for all
objects below it in the message path. You can check for the type of object
if you want to restrict the property to particular things.
