I'm 102.7% sure I'm not interpreting this correctly, but why not create a class to inherit from the 3rd-party class you don't want to modify and just call the method on that? You can create all overridable DD VIs, and just throw in a "Call Parent Method" on the BD. Now you don't have to worry about which parent implements it, LV will take care of it for you.....

Because it has to work in run-time and it has to work with any class.

You mean, without prior edit-time knowledge of the class.... Gotcha.

The Connector Pane is crucial factor.

If you know it (at compile time), you have lots of options (Call By Reference, Run method, Call And Forget, run a VI that is already running).

If you don't, all you have is the Run method. So you're stuck to the root loop, and you can't run VIs that are already running.

I can't see why these limits are still there (apart from time restraints).

See Run As SubVI method.
