At runtime however, I don;t really want those cursor classes to become instantiated at all. Instead I want to create a property of the container with the same name to hold a reference to the cursor objects, which will have already been created by that time.

Trying this from the opposite direction - you added the cursor classes to have intellisense work - and are now fighting the side effects of that. Every time I've seen that mentioned previously, the object or variable defined was inside an IF .F. block (or at compiler level) so it never instantiated.
