    virtual interfaces will be supported in IUS61, due to be released next month (April). A workaround is to instantiate your interface and your class at the same level. In the class create a task that can receive a class or struct argument. Then you can collect the signals values from the interface into a class or struct and pass it into the class via the task. You could also do this via a mailbox. You would pass the mailbox into the class similar to the virtual interface. Although mailboxes aren't natively supported yet (also supported in IUS61), there is a mailbox class that has the same functionality.
