This is forbidden by the source guidelines, due to some compilers (notably 
older G++ versions) not supporting it correctly.

I'm wondering what you're trying to do that might require multiple 
inheritance. Not that I frown upon it (at least in the case of interfaces & 
abstract classes - the java & C# answer)... Usually a "containment" model is a 
good way to work around using multiple inheritance, if you feel that it's 
absolutely necessary.
