[Openmcl-devel] class precedence list

[Bill St. Clair]

Arthur,

The error is correct. You have specified that mymix should come before
mysuper in the class precedence list of myclass. But the defclass for
mysuper specifies that mymix is a superclass of mysuper, hence mymix
must come AFTER mysuper in a class precedence list. Contradiction.

Removing mymix from the superclass list of myclass works:

(defclass myclass (mysuper) ())

You could also include mymix after mysuper. In this example, that
isn't necessary, since inheritance does the job, but if you had more
than one mixin class, you might want to specify which one comes first.

(defclass myclass (mysuper mymixin) ())
