Multiple LEFTJOINOn queries seem to work if all classes subclass
SQLObject, but not if they subclass a subclass of
InheritableSQLObject. This is what I mean:

################################################################
class zoo( SQLObject ):
    name = StringCol( )
    cages = MultipleJoin( 'cage' )

class cage( SQLObject ):
    name = StringCol( )
    animals = MultipleJoin( 'animal' )
    zoo = ForeignKey( 'zoo' )

class animal( SQLObject ):
    name = StringCol( )
    cage = ForeignKey( 'cage' )
################################################################

So there are zoos, each zoo has a number of cages and each cage has a
number of animals. The following query selects the total number of
animals in a given zoo:

################################################################
joins = [ ]
joins.append( LEFTJOINOn( None, cage, animal.q.cageID==cage.q.id ) )
joins.append( LEFTJOINOn( None, zoo, cage.q.zooID==zoo.q.id ) )

print animal.select( zoo.q.name=='myzoo', join=joins ).count( )
################################################################

This is all fine, but if the model is changed slightly to use inheritance:

################################################################
class named( InheritableSQLObject ):
    name = StringCol( )

class zoo( named ):
    cages = MultipleJoin( 'cage' )

class cage( named ):
    animals = MultipleJoin( 'animal' )
    zoo = ForeignKey( 'zoo' )

class animal( named ):
    cage = ForeignKey( 'cage' )
################################################################

then the exact same query stops working. Why is that? If it is a
feature and not a bug, what should be the correct query for the
getting the total number of animals?
