Break Inheritance for nested components

Hi All,

We have a nested component configured in a page which is rolled out to its live copies. The structure is such that C3 is nested inside C2 which is nested inside C1. Hence the node structure looks something like this -

C1

-----C2

-----------C3

Now in this scenario we want to break inheritance for C2 and keep the C3 (nested inside C2). So what essentially we are trying is we need to break inheritance only for C2, but while doing so inheritance is getting broken for all components and we are not able to roll out the changes of C1 and C3 to its live copy. Anybody has suggestions how can we go for a better approach to disabled inheritance for only C2 ?
