I think what you are looking for, are evas smart objects. Take a look 
into the efl cookbook. There you'll find a nice  howto about this. Note 
that the behavior has changed a little, so you don't need any longer the 
layer, raise, lower, above and below callbacks, but have to add the 
child objects as a smart member to the smart object.
