So, technically RS could add the ability to place properties into an interface, but it is bad form, and should not be (and currently is

I guess then that once you start adding properties, you create not a class interface rather a class or an abstract class, right?

That is pretty much the idea, As soon as you start trying to add implementation details to an interface, it can no longer be defined as an interface, but rather is an abstract class.

I kinda wonder why RB doesn't have Abstract classes yet. Is it just that no one has expressed an interest in their need? Or is it something that would be difficult to implement? Or would it be a concept that is just too confusing for the average RB user to grasp?

Mars, what's your take?

I write quite a lot of java code, and use Abstract classes regularly there, but haven't really been inconvenienced by there absence in REALbasic. If they were available, I would certainly make use of them. If anyone else sees a need for Abstract classes in REALbasic, I would be happy to file a Feature Request.
