RE: Extending more than one base class....

Found an interesting article about multiple inheritance in Java on the web...

"Through interfaces, Java allows multiple inheritance of interface but not of 
implementation. Implementation, which
includes instance variables and method implementations, is always singly 
inherited. As a result, confusion will never
arise in Java over which inherited instance variable or method implementation 
to use. "

http://www.artima.com/designtechniques/interfaces.html

not a "perfect solution" but it "sort of" works....

Sorry, mistyped.  As far as I know an **interface** cannot extend a class.

No, an instance can not... but an interface can, sort of...

my apologies for any confusion...
