Hi again,

Someone mentioned inheritance and how it causes an undesirable coupling
between program modules and i forgot to get back to comment.

I have noticed this too, where you create one 'class' and then
use that to start a new class that has some features of the old
class, so you end up using much of the old file for the new
class.  The problem comes up when later some time you find out
that the old file had a bug (however small) which means your
new class, AND any new classes that came after it, all have the
same bug!  What a drawback, but i guess that's life.  All of
the files have to be corrected unless you have been able to
use that previous file as an include, in which case you only
have to fix that one file and all the rest (which include that
one) are then also fixed.

I guess it is all part of the search for the ideal program
structure, if there even is such a thing.


Take care,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!
