Stef, Unlike extension, you must redefine everything from the base type in the derived type, further restricting the definition as you see fit (as opposed to just placing the things you want to change).

Your situation is complicated considering the bit you want to restrict is injected by extension of yet another type. In any case, that's your general problem. Good luck!
