The conflict can still be resolved via a class method that routes to the appropriate inherited method. That said, if some sort of "exclusion" technique gets implemented for roles, I don't see why it shouldn't also be implemented for classes - with the caveat that actually removing a method (as opposed to merely suppressing a conflict) would generally be considered bad OO practice. ===== Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
