Can I do this? (Well I know I can't, is there a way around?)

Strict
Type a
	Method test:String()
		Return "a"
	End Method
End Type

Type b Extends a
	Method test:String() Abstract
End Type

Type c Extends b
	Method test:String()
		Return Super.Super.test()
	End Method
End Type

Print New c.test() 'i want "a"

Wouldn't this work?

Strict
Type a
	Method test:String()
		Return "a"
	End Method
End Type

Type b Extends a
	Method test:String()
		Return Super.test()
	End Method    
End Type

Type c Extends b
	Method test:String()
		Return Super.test()
	End Method
End Type

Print New c.test() 'i want "a"

Edited out failed response... Now that I tested.

Abstract has to be the base class.

What mcv said. you can have the method doing nothing in the derived class, but not abstract.

I've got around it by just copying the super super method code into the bottom method code. It works for now.

You can have abstract overidden methods in derived classes.
