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.

if you are a beginner to design patterns you can refer to "Head First Design Patterns" by Eric Freeman & Elisabeth Freeman. It has a terse explanation of most of the Design Patterns including Composite Pattern.
