I do think it would be a little too convenient if Cave was Chell's father. There'd be no reason for it, given Cave Johnson doesn't even seem like the sort to have a family and we know he appointed Caroline (with her brain in a computer) as his successor for Aperture in the event of his death, rather than any family member. I don't think there's any need for that sort of link to be made between Cave and Chell nor GLaDOS and Chell, really. I think it cheapens Cave's role as this weirdly enigmatic but really quite powerful Howard Hughes-esque presence throughout the second game to just have him be the protagonist's father, because.. Well, I like the idea that Chell is just this really fucking smart person trapped in a massive problem someone else made.

And the only trait Cave and Chell have in common that I can see is determination. Cave and his insane pushing science forward to the ends of making... Shower rails.. And Chell being Chell. I don't see that many links between the two otherwise.
