Well I don't know how linguistically correct the semantics are but what I was trying the achieve was multiple inheritance with php. I am working on a set of classes to process form data and with the associated data of the given class provide specific data processing functions. When I first started working on the project I started seeing a lot of function and member replication within the classes so I decided to use more of an OO hierarchy. I think his should be considered as a solution to php multiple inheritance. Necessity is the mother of all invention. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6418
