Are you designing a database schema or an object model?
No matter what you are designing, in the early stages of designing the actual tools/application used to implement the design should not be relevant. When you focus on the tools, you end up designing within the limitations of the tool, rather than getting a good design and then checking if the tool of choice can handle it.
For an object model, a look at the Composite pattern in the Design Patterns book may give you some ideas.
