Yes, I agree that would be really usefull.

I have considered this when I wrote EmbperlObject, I simply didn't do so for
performance reasons. If we have the [$ uses ... $] you suggest, anybody can
simply insert a
[$ uses "../*" $]
at the top of the file that should inherence from it's base. Do you think
that would be ok, or do you think this should be done automaticly by Embperl
?
