We use koma-script for a wide range of different documents, e.g. reports and short legal documents. I would like to make our documents more consistent. My idea was to create a package (myBase.sty) with options, common macros, font configuration, etc. that should be shared across all of our different types of documents. This package should then, in turn, be utilized by other specific document (wrapper) classes.
Specifically, the classes myReport.cls and myLegalDoc.cls should inherit the options defined in myBase.sty.
I created the following MWE to demonstrate the issue I am facing:
\begin{filecontents}{myBase.sty}
\ProvidesPackage{myBase}
\DefineFamily{TEST}
\DefineFamilyMember[]{TEST}
\FamilyBoolKey[]{TEST}{inheritedopt}{TEST@inheritedopt}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{myReport.cls}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{myReport}[]
\RequirePackage{scrbase}
\RequirePackage{myBase}
\DefineFamily{TEST}
\DefineFamilyMember{TEST}
\FamilyBoolKey[.myReport.cls]{TEST}{classopt}{TEST@classopt}
% Pass unknown options to the parent class
\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{scrreprt}}
% Process options defined in myReport.cls
\FamilyProcessOptions[.myReport.cls]{TEST}\relax
% Process options defined in myBase.sty
\FamilyProcessOptions[]{TEST}\relax
\LoadClass{scrreprt}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[%
inheritedopt=true,%
classopt=true%
]{myReport}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\ifbool{TEST@classopt}{%
\typeout{classopt=true}
}{
\typeout{classopt=false}
}
\ifbool{TEST@inheritedopt}{%
\typeout{inheritedopt=true}
}{
\typeout{inheritedopt=false}
}
% Leads to:
% LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
% [classopt].
\begin{document}
This is a test.
\end{document}
The output to \typeout indicates, that the options were correctly processed. However, there is a warning which seems to indicate that classopt was not processed correctly:

Perhaps the option is passed to koma-script's scrreprt class for further processing? I suspect that this is somehow related to \FamilyKeyState but I'm not sure how to further debug this. Thanks in advance!
Update (2022-05-20):
Unfortunately I forgot to mention that I would like to have the option to process the options defined in myBase.sty in myBase.sty. Example code:
\begin{filecontents}{myBase.sty}
\ProvidesPackage{myBase}
\RequirePackage{scrbase}% <- added
\DefineFamily{TEST}
\DefineFamilyMember{TEST}% <- define family member .myBase.sty
\FamilyBoolKey{TEST}{inheritedopt}{TEST@inheritedopt}% inheriteopt is key of family member .myBase.sty
\FamilyProcessOptions{TEST}\relax% process (family options and) options of family member .myBase.cls
\ifbool{TEST@inheritedopt}{%
% Do something ...
}{}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{myReport.cls}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{myReport}
\RequirePackage{scrbase}
\DefineFamily{TEST}
\DefineFamilyMember{TEST}% <- define family member .myReport.cls
\FamilyBoolKey{TEST}{classopt}{TEST@classopt}% classopt is key of family member .myReport.cls
\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{scrreprt}}% pass unknown options to the parent class
\FamilyProcessOptions{TEST}\relax% process (family options and) options of family member .myReport.cls
\LoadClass{scrreprt}
\RequirePackage{myBase}% <- moved
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[
inheritedopt=true,
classopt=true
]{myReport}
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\ifTEST@classopt
classopt=true
\else
classopt=false
\fi
\quad
\ifTEST@inheritedopt
inheriteopt=true
\else
inheriteopt=false
\fi
\makeatother
\end{document}
