Multiple inheritance means that a class can have multiple
superclasses and inherit from them. Multiple inheritance can
cause several problems: - Name conflicts of instance variables.
- Methods with the same name from multiple parents. - Instance
variables no longer have simple constant offsets. Variations of
inheritance include: - Using types of all arguments (not just
the first) to determine the - Method Combination (Flavors): the
methods of multiple parents can be combined, e.g. a window with
border and title. - SendSuper (Loops): a more specialized
subclass method can call the parent method. Useful e.g. to
assign serial numbers to manufactured objects.
