That way lies Java. The number of times I've wished an interface were actually a mixin.... *shudder* >Multiple inheritance can be very useful if not used in an unresponsible way. Exactly. I think the correct approach is to regard multiple inheritence as a very advanced OO topic, leave it out of tutorials as much as possible, and when finally introduced reinforce the idea that it should be used only with caution. Speaking as someone who has used it to commit monstrosities in C++ which I have grown to regret. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
