Another approach to the Expression Problem is multiple inheritance, in which one subclass can extend many superclasses.
However, multiple inheritance being used only for interface implementation was thought to alleviate this problem somewhat.
Users must understand the differences and interactions between metaclass programming and traditional object-oriented programming ( under both single and multiple inheritance ).
