Infact not really like sub-classing at all.
Embeding is putting structs inside other structs and has nothing to do
with the methods associated with those structs. It's almost exactly
like you'd do it in C except a bit nicer.

The problem with inheritance has nothing to do with the data
structures and everything to do with the methods.
