inheritance
</H1>
<P>
In normal object-oriented programming, inheritance is the ability
of a ``super'' or ``parent'' class or interface to pass its characteristics
(methods and instance variables) on to its subclasses,
allowing subclasses to reuse these characteristics.
<P>
Of course, in SIDL we cannot define instance variables, so in SIDL
inheritance only refers to method inheritance. In SIDL inheritance is
is declared with the reserved words <TT><I CLASS="slanted">extends</I></TT> and <TT><I CLASS="slanted">implements</I></TT>.
