No, it picks "first found", which actually makes mixins a bit of pain.  That's
why there's that particularly tricky code in that one project I did for you,
to essentially insert the "mixed-in" version in the middle of your inheritance
ladder, rather than hanging out on a second parent.

It's one of the weakest parts of the Class::Prototyped design, unfortunately,
and having chosen that for CGIP, I'm sorta stuck with it.
