[fw-db] Custom Row Class - _get() from two tiers

I don't know if this is really Zend_DB or just simple PHP, but I have
extended the row class returned from my Zend_DB_Table. This table returns
data joined from two tables (with the integrity check removed).

The primary table is 'product', all fields are prefixed 'product_'.

The second table is 'product_variant', all fields are prefixed 'variant_'.

Now I can cope with extending the __get() method in order to do away with
the prefix for product_ ($this->product->column instead of
$this->product->product_column) but how would I do it with variant too
($this->product->variant->column instead of $this->product->variant_name)?

i.e. echo $this->product->variant->column;
Would in fact go to product row class and the value variant_column, I don't
know how to get the magic get method to recognise that I want to call a fake
class, this method receives 'variant' as the supposed column name and does
away with 'column'.

I guess my question is how do I fake an object without creating one and
copying the table data to it then using another __get() method in that
class.

Thanks
Simon
