/**
 * AsynchronousContinuation - Template base class for async sequence management
 *
 * This template provides a common pattern for managing asynchronous operations
 * that need to maintain object lifetime through a sequence of callbacks.
 *
 * The template parameter OriginalCbFnT represents the signature of the original
 * callback that will be invoked when the async sequence completes.
 *
 * Usage:
 *   class MyAsyncReq
 *	 :	public AsynchronousContinuation<std::function<void(bool)>>
 *   {
 *   public:
 *     MyAsyncReq(std::function<void(bool)> originalCbFn)
 *     :	AsynchronousContinuation(originalCbFn)
 *    {}
 *
 *     // Segment methods take only the shared_ptr for lifetime management
 *     void myAsyncReq1(std::shared_ptr<MyAsyncReq> context);
 *     void myAsyncReq2(std::shared_ptr<MyAsyncReq> context);
 *   };
