and quite a good description of the mechanisms follows.

To the best of my knowledge these techniques originated with Stein Krogdahl,
who first considered them for Simula. Try looking in:

%T An Efficient implementation of Simula Classes with Multiple Prefixes
%A Stein Krogdahl
%I Institute of Informatics, University of Oslo
%R 83
%D June 1984
%X ISBN 82-90230-82-6

%T Multiple inheritance in Simula-like Languages
%A Stein Krogdahl
%J Bit
%V 25
%D 1985
%P 318-326

If anyone knows of uses of these techniques prior even to this, could
then please send me some references?  I like to reference the right person!
