This is it in one. Now seeing as you guys are the experts, does inheriting off 
something observe that something's friend rules? ie; does the class begin before 
inheriting or after?

I should add I tested against v3.2 where it does work, not v3.3 which dies with 
certain code sequences in my code so I tend to avoid it (v3.4 has them fixed so 
I haven't reported these).

Cheers,
Niall
