Fpc is going to support interfaces as in Delphi. (I think they're 
already supported in the 1.1 version.) Interfaces turn out to be a 
convenient alternative to multiple inheritance. Modern object oriented 
languages (Delphi, Java, C#), support interfaces instead of multiple 
inheritance. There are several reasons for this, most of them you'll 
realise if you start learning C++ :). (What happens if, say B and C are 
classes that inherit from A, and D inherits both B and C, then D shoud 
have 2 copies of A... multiple inheritence is such a joy :) )
