Inheritance Issues

Are declarations local to superclass also visible to subclass?
- public inheritance in C++.
- Violates static scoping laws!
Overrriding of class methods:
- class T = record proc P = ...end;
  class U = inherits T
  with record proc P = ...end;
  var X: U in call X.P
- P of U is invoked.
Multiple inheritance
- class T = record proc P = ...end;
  class U = record proc P = ...end;
  class R = inherits T, inherits U
  with ...end;
  var X: R in call X.P
- Which P is selected?
