Pretty standard, I think: No. Not pretty standard. Extremely unusual, and as you see, got you into trouble. You probably want "has-a" relationships here, not "is-a". Make C contain an object of type A and an object of type B, then delegate calls to the appropriate object. I think Class::Delegate can help here. I can't see how C "is" an A, and "is" a B, especially if they have distinct data members. How could C understand and apply every method defined for an A? What if both A and B define a "foo" method? Which one (or both?) should be called? If the answer is "multiple inheritance", you probably asked the wrong question. Back up a step, and take a different tack. -- Randal L.
