Somehow? I suppose you mean it doesn't work unless you set it to either
Reflective or Dynamic... I imagine that's because the base class will
have on override of eStaticFeatureCount which thereby will not allow a
derived class to introduce its own static features.

I think that should work okay to mix them, Reflective is no so different
from Dynamic, it just but the delegating to dynamic in the generated
accessors so that there is somewhere you can add hand written code to
intercept the calls, even when direct reflective calls are made...

Sorry, somehow is not very precise. Before I had it set to "Reflective". In that case calling eGet(aDerivedStructuralFeature) would simply return an empty list, the invocation was simply not wired to the implementation method. When setting feature delegation to "Dynamic", eGet() is generated differently and now calls the implementation (like in native EMF).

That's why I also guessed it should work.
Thanks again for your superfast (like always!) answer.
