I assume you are asking if A should be contained or referenced as a
pointer.

Directly adding "a" as a member variable makes the design simple as
you do not need to worry about allocating memory for a, it is allocated
within b.
The disadvantage here is that you have anybody using the class B has to
directly or indirectly include the header file containing class A.
