It shouldn't - I'm using just such a setup myself.  All of my source
classes inherit from various other base classes.  Just to be sure
we've got this straight:

Check that...

My::Schema ISA DBIx::Class::Schema
My::Schema::User ISA My::Schema::BaseClass
My::Schema::BaseClass ISA DBIx::Class
My::Schema->resultset('User') ISA DBIx::Class::ResultSet
My::Schema->resultset('User')->find('joebob') ISA My::Schema::User
My::Schema->resultset('User')->find('joebob')->toJSON works?

Then...

My::Model->config->{schema_class} IS My::Schema
$c-model('My::Model::User')->find('joebob')->toJSON works?
