Hi Vince --
Not a solution, but a little understanding and a workaround. With C1,
what happens is that the 'names' attribute of ll gets transfered to
the 'names' attribute of the S4 instance.
setClass(C1, contains=list)
[1] C1
setClass(C2, contains=C1)
[1] C2
ll - list(a=1, b=2)
c1 - new(C1,
can list names attributes be preserved through S4
class containment? seems to be so but only if the containment
relationship is direct ... see below.
setClass(c1, contains=list)
[1] c1
l1 = list(a=1, b=2)
o1 = new(c1, l1)
names(o1) # pleasant surprise
[1] a b
setClass(c2, contains=c1)
