(Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a Python guru :-) )

Whenever you inherit from two classes, only the first class'
__init__ method is called implicitely on create of a new instance.

If you want both base classes' init method to be called, do something
like this:

class MyView(BrowserView,Second):
   def __init__(self,context,request):
      BrowserView.__init__(self,context,request)
      Second.__init__(self,context,request)
