first and foremost read the doc available at http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/package-configuration.html note that packages define groupings of actions, results, result types, interceptors, and interceptor-stacks and yes one package can extend another package by specifying extends="base_package" Not sure why you would want to extend multiple packages (note the use of keyword extends vs implements) so in the example of <package name="fu" extends="bar"> states every action,result,resultType,interceptor and Interceptor-stack from base-package "bar" will be made available to new package "fu" perhaps you are introducing differing namespaces and causing a mismatch?
provided we're not seeing anything company proprietary can we see the struts.xml declaration for both packages? ?
