This is probably a trivial question, but I've been hunting through my
documentation and can't find it...

Given a pointer to an instance of a single-inherited subclass, it is
legal to cast that pointer to any of the instance's superclasses.  However,
given an instance of a multiply-inherited class is it legal to cast that
pointer to any of the inherited superclasses?  I would say not.  What
then, can a pointer to a multiply-inherited class be cast to?
