Well, the Cart class that is defined first does not have a constructor. Then we inherit another class which does have a constructor and when we instantiate we instantiate the inherited class. So technically we have inherited a constructor, but you are right in that if we were to instantiate the top class, the constructor in the inherited class would not get called. > Secondly, on slide 29 "Database Abstraction" the example has " use > 'DB'; ". > What is "use"?

Yeah, that should actually be require-once instead. Although eventually it will be 'use' here. -Rasmus
