1. SomeClass is a Control (inherited from PictureBox) that exposes public events:
   you can just subscribe to the mousedown event in the MainForm class (just as you set its location):

public class MainForm : Form
{
    // ...

    public MainForm()
    {   
        // ...
        someObject.MouseDown += mouseDown;
    }

    private void mouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        panel1.BackColor = Color.Red;
    }
}

public class SomeClass : PictureBox
{
    Panel panel1;

    public SomeClass(Panel mainPanel)
    {
        panel1 = mainPanel;
        //...
    }
}

SomeClass someObject = new SomeClass(panel1);

public class SomeClass : PictureBox
    {
    public SomeClass()
        {
        this.BackColor = Color.Green;
        this.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(mouseDown);
        }
    public void mouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
        OnFocussed(e);
        }
    /// <summary>
    /// Event to indicate Focussed on
    /// </summary>
    public event EventHandler Focussed;
    /// <summary>
    /// Called to signal to subscribers that Focussed on
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="e"></param>
    protected virtual void OnFocussed(EventArgs e)
        {
        EventHandler eh = Focussed;
        if (eh != null)
            {
            eh(this, e);
            }
        }
    }

    {
    MyPictureBox1.Focussed += MyPictureBox_Focussed;
    MyPictureBox2.Focussed += MyPictureBox_Focussed;
    MyPictureBox3.Focussed += MyPictureBox_Focussed;
    }

void MyPictureBox_Focussed(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    SomeClass sc = sender as SomeClass;
    if (sc != null)
        {

Is there a reason you don't just subscribe to the 'original' event (MouseDown)?
