This is planned. However, implementation is not easy, the problem being
mainly that you don't know where the ancestor is defined.

unitA defines class TA
unitB also defines class TA;

UnitC uses UnitA, UnitB and Defines TC=Class(TA). The docs pascal parser 
doesn't have a clue whether TA comes from unita or unitb... 

It's possible that I will introduce a new attribute 'ancestor':
<element name="TC" ancestor="#rtl.UnitA.TA">
to remedy this.

Many other things are planned. But guess what the problem is ? :-)
