I too have been in trouble when working with inheritance in eof. I think the
only reason for using inheritance in the eo model is in case you want to
make sql based (datebase based) queries at the base of the inheritance
hierarchy. In all other circumstances i would try to avoid inheritance.
Note that not using inheritance in the eomodel does not prohibit using
inheritance in the java class hierarchy.

Cheers
Tonny
