To the best of my knowledge these techniques originated with Stein Krogdahl, who first considered them for Simula. Try looking in: %T An Efficient implementation of Simula Classes with Multiple Prefixes %A Stein Krogdahl %I Institute of Informatics, University of Oslo %R 83 %D June 1984 %X ISBN 82-90230-82-6 %T Multiple inheritance in Simula-like Languages %A Stein Krogdahl %J Bit %V 25 %D 1985 %P 318-326 If anyone knows of uses of these techniques prior even to this, could then please send me some references? I like to reference the right person! Martin usenet: ...!mcvax!ukc!minster!martin JANET: martin@uk.ac.york.minster surface: Martin C.
