  <title>Object Inheritance</title>
  <para>
   Inheritance is a well-established programming principle, and PHP makes use
   of this principle in its object model. This principle will affect the way
   many classes and objects relate to one another.
  </para>
  <para>
   For example, when you extend a class, the subclass inherits all of the
   public and protected methods from the parent class. Unless a class overrides
   those methods, they will retain their original functionality.
  </para>
  <para>
   This is useful for defining and abstracting functionality, and permits the
   implementation of additional functionality in similar objects without the
   need to reimplement all of the shared functionality.
