I wouldn't say a Russian Doll - that's what Lingo does, by making it's "ancestor" an object of its own. In Lingo, you can even create an object by classA and assign it as an ancestor of classB. Flash is probably more like an onion - a single entity with each layer is an integral part of the object. Or a genetics metaphor - having your mother's eyes (in Flash) doesn't mean that you actually have her actual eyes... But Lingo reminds me of a quote from "Robots": "Ahhh, he's got mother's eyes - I knew they would come in handy!"
