Re: Multiple Inheritance
It's been a while, and I will have to translate my memory of multiple inheritance complexities in the OOP world into the CiviCRM types world, so bear with me...but imagine the case where types A and B both have a custom field called X. Then type C derives from A and B. What is the meaning of X in the context of C? It is a solvable problem, but there are multiple possible solutions, and the code to enforce whatever solution the language architects choose gets nasty quickly. Just remembering how C++ implemented multiple inheritance rules makes me queasy :-).
