This sounds like a nightmare. I never use FindControl, that's an ugly hack. I create my own base classes for my page that return strongly typed values for the MasterPage property. If you do that on both levels, then this.MasterPage.MasterPage will give you your class, where you should expose properties on your controls as needed, not the entire control.
