Absolutely, every object has a state, and I don't think that's a problem if I'm doing something infrastructure-related or from a higher level domain, like building support classes for your entity classes or a custom ORM, as I already mentioned. This is more of a database issue than a business logic issue. However, when it comes to domain logic, inheritance can be a difficult concept to manage.

@nadinengland thanks for the comments! Yes, that would be the next logical step. I already have the usage of the Request class mentioned in the examples and I mentioned that I use Laravel specific stuff, but unfortunately I didn't actually add the custom Request class in the example.
