title: Base Page or Base Master Page or Nested Masters?
body: <p>I've got a site with two master pages: one for one-column layout and one for two-column layout. These are nested within a master page that provides a common header and footer.</p>
  
  <p>I have functionality that I want each of the content pages to have; should I:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>create a page base class and inherit that inside my content pages, or</li>
  <li>create a master page base class and inherit that inside one of my levels of nested master page?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Ultimately I want the content pages to have access to a connection object and to a configuration object that I want to be instantiated as each page loads.</p>
