Was that question directed to me? Again, it doesn't really matter. In both cases, you would have to: 1. Modify the parent class (which is what we're talking about in the first place). 2. Modify any of its derived classes. The only difference is whether you modify just the word after the 'extends' keyword, or all of the occurences of the parent class name in the file that contains a given derived class.
