Class-Mixer version 0.5 ======================== This module is designed to solve a problem which occurs when using inheritance to mixin behaviors into a class hierarchy. The dependencies between a large number of mixin modules may be complex, making it tricky to get the base classes to inherit in the right order. Then if you have class Main which gets the inheritance right, and you want to add a class Mixin which needs to go in the middle of the inheritance, you cannot simply do C because Mixin will be put at the end of the inheritance chain. Also, if you have a class Foo::Better which enhances the Foo behavior, the same problem occurs trying to mixin Foo::Better. And it is even worse if some classes have done C to try to enforce the correct hierarchy. This module solves the problems by implementing a dependency-based hierarchy. You declare the relations between the classes, and an order of inheritance which will support those relations is determined automatically.
