You are right. A user can only have one parent. But that user does not necessarily have to have the exact same permissions as it's parent.
If you have a user in the "car mechanic" group, but this person also has experience fixing bicycle tires, you could give that person -- and that person only -- access to the BicycleTire controller, which is otherwise only available to those in the "bike mechanic" group. You can, of course, also nest groups. So if you want to give bike mechanics access to only bikes, but car mechanics access to bikes and cars, you could make bike mechanics the parent of car mechanics. In this case, car mechanics will inherit all from bikes (their parent), but then you can assign whatever extra permissions you want to the car mechanics without having those permissions applied to bike mechanics. However, if you have a car mechanic who knows nothing about bikes, you can then revoke all his permissions to bicycles, but keep him in the car mechanic group.
