setProduct($product) Calling the Super Product Attributes

I am using the Simple Configurable Products extension by OrganicInternet.

I have a number of Tabs in every product with related information.

I am editing OrganicInternet/SimpleConfigurableProducts/Catalog/Block/Product/View/Type/Configurable.php

The logic is as follows -- (this builds the JSON with the simple products data):

class OrganicInternet_SimpleConfigurableProducts_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable
extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Configurable
{

public function getJsonConfig()
    {
    $config = Zend_Json::decode(parent::getJsonConfig());

    $childProducts = array();
    ....
    foreach ($this->getAllowProducts() as $product) {
    .....
     if (Mage::getStoreConfig('SCP_options/product_page/change_attributes')) {
            $childBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_view_colors');
            $childProducts[$productId]["colors"] = $childBlock->setTemplate('catalog/product/view/colors.phtml')->setProduct($product)->toHtml();
     开发者_运维问答   }
......
}

The block is rendering properly, but for some reason it is not using the correct Product. I suspect the setProduct($product) method is not working. (It is using the "super" product), but when I do a print_r(get_class_methods($product)), it shows the correct simple product.

Any ideas?
