I'm looking for a hinge that will allow an inset door to open within the width of the cabinet frame work and then allow the use full width pull out runners.

Everything I've seen (for inset doors) opens the door within the opening and would mean spacers for the runners which I don't want to use.

Further complicated by the unit side being against a wall.

Make sense?
 
You might use barrel hinges, if I understand you correctly. These will allow the door to clear the frame so that your runners can pass. Hope this helps
 
Hopefully this very rough sketch helps show what I'm after.

Your drawing is about what I thought and I believe a pair of invisible barrel hinges should do you.
 
I don't quite know why I'm struggling so much with this one. Initially I though I was in full on numpty mode and had missed the obvious (e.g. butt hinges). However, with only 90 degree opening I really haven't been able to find anything that doesn't have massive overlap with the opening.

If I have to have a degree of overlap then I'll have to but I want to keep it to a minimum.

Does this further sketch help at all?

Door opening is restricted by wall so can't change that!

The only possible way that can work with a simple single pivoting hinge is if the pivot point was at the extreme right hand corner IE up against the wall.

I can't even see a Euro style Kitchen cabinet hinge doing what you want, I think you are onto a loser here.
