[DGD] Inheritance create()

[Michael McKiel]

I wrote a lengthy mail, desribing how my tree et al looked like, but after I
reread it, it was more of a design discussion - and likely not overly of
interest. I wound up taking the inherit API_USER out of the user object
itself. Since as I perused the code, it didn't require direct access to the
userd.c - that's handled in the command-bin and wiztool.

But I have a new problem that I thought named inheritance prevented...
(I've patched up to 1.2.82)

in my user.c object I have:

# define NEW_INHERIT_MESSAGE

# ifdef NEW_INHERIT_MESSAGE
inherit kuser LIB_USER;
inherit thing LIB_THING;
# else
inherit LIB_USER;			/* Kernel User LIB	*/
inherit LIB_THING_USER;		/* Ahhh the Thing the Thing 	*/
# endif

and when I try to startup the driver I get:

/object/secure/user.c, 499: inherited multiple instances of:
/object/secure/user.c, 499:   message (/inherit/common/thing,
                                       /inherit/kernel/user)

Nothing that LIB_THING inherits has a message(), just itself.

So I thought the main use of named inheritance was to allow a given object to
inherit multiple instances of a similiar named function?
