I think inheritance is a "genetic" concept, an object inherits an attribute and has it forever, where acquisition depends on the container the object has, and then on his context. There are several how-tos about acquisition where you can find better explanations, see also http://webdev.zopeonarope.com/ and http://www.byte.com/documents/s=705/byt20010614s0001/ Michele
