protocols

I'd like an instance variable object to adopt a protocol.

@interface GameScene : Scene <AVAudioPlayerDelegate> {
@private
    Layer *content <CocosNodeOpacity>;
}

For example I'd like my Layer object to adopt the <CocosNodeOpacity> so that I can get the methods

-(GLubyte) opacity;    //and
-(void) setOpacity: (GLubyte) opacity;

for free. The syntax shown above is invalid. Is it possible to achieve this without creating a new implementation file and creating a custom object? Thanks.
