[DGD] data inheritance: multiple vs single ancestry

Ok, just curious about this:

Phantasmal has "archetypes" where properties and things can be
inherited from multiple ancestors.  In some cases, the prime ancestor
(first on the list) is used for stuff that can't be aggregated,
whereas things like nouns and adjectives can be inherited from every
parent.

However, SkotOS as you know has only a single "ur (you are)" pointer
and data inheritance is forcibly singular.

Is it better to allow multiple ancestry, or are things better off with
the simple model where you can only have one parent?
