In my CS classes we always called that "multiple inheritence" I ain't saying "multiple inheritence" isn't a subclass* of "polymorhism" or anything, just that that's what we called it. This was 20 years ago, and I've sat through WAY too many arguments about what is or isn't polymorphism to count. I think anybody would agree that PHP's support for polymorphism is "minimal, at best" :-) * pun intended -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
