     Okay.  It might have been clearer if you'd chosen names that
weren't already taken -- although, one must admit, that's not easy
to do with Java's ever-growing namespace bloat.  (Factoid: The HTML
*index* for the 7.0 API occupies eighteen meg!)

     Still, I don't see the relevance of multiple inheritance to
your question, which seems to boil down to: "What are the trade-offs
in exposing fields vs. using accessors?"  I think we can debate (have
debated) that matter at length without involving M.I. -- so it seems
I'm still missing your intent.

     Could you explain how you feel the exposure-vs-accessor debate
would play out differently with multiple and single inheritance?
