The language defines method lookups and the MRO and such, and then the class chooses what to define. If your classes aren't specifically designed with inheritance in mind, multiple inheritance will always get messy (no matter what language you're in!); even single inheritance can get messy very quickly if the classes aren't designed to coexist (there's no safe way to refactor a superclass method without knowing what subclasses might be overriding).
