Yes. > Why? At location A the helper is not yet declared, thus GetAnotherString uses the GetString function of its own class. On location B the helper is already declared and thus the implementation of GetAnotherString will pick up the helper's GetString function instead. As normally helpers aren't declared in the same unit as their extended type this isn't necessarily that obvious. ;) Regards, Sven
