Isn't the problem here just that the following comment is 100% wrong? /* * Unlike find_all_inheritors(), we need to walk on child relations * that have diamond inheritance tree, because this function has to * return correct expected inhecount to the caller. */ It seems to me that the right solution here is to just add one more argument to find_all_inheritors(), something like List **expected_inh_count.
