that of A::init()

do you know any reason for this?

The reason for this is simply that B must act like A since every B object is also an object of A.

This is not a real reason, it's just repeating it. All B is saying in fact "I'm going to ignore everything but the first parameter", and there's no real reason not to allow it to do that. There's no "act" that makes B incompatible with A here, this warning is completely useless. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
