Making injections into class attributes can't work with Resource in nested container.

Reproducible project: https://github.com/YogiLiu/pdi_issue

When I run python -m pdi_issue.main, an error was raised:

Thanks for the report. Nested containers and wiring is an area we can improve. No ETA when we'll work on it, but in the mean time, try doing so:

Thanks for reply.

To be honest, there are many solutions for this case, like injecting as params of __init__ method. So, I think this is a quite special case. It must be great if it's supported.

Thanks for your contributions.
