Re^3: Inherit only few methods from a parent class

If the "risky" methods are used in the parent class, the inheriting child class may die unexpectedly

I agree with everything above, except the word unexpectedly. Yes, it will die. On purpose. Because the OP does not want those methods be callable. And if the Parent class calls those subs as methods, it's calling them on objects of type Child. Which the OP doesn't want. Hence death.

Let's say "dies unexpectedly for the OP". I had and still have the impression that the OP hasn't completely understood inheritance yet. If the OP would show us some code, and explain why (s)he thinks that some methods in the parent class are risky, we could do much more than just guessing.
