  • sand1024, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is another approach to implement JavaScript inheritance - a lazy inheritance which has all benefits of prototype based approach like typed classes, but also eliminates necessity to declare external scripts in proper order and automatically resolves and loads (if necessary) dependencies to external scripts that contains related classes.
    This approach is supported by JSINER library - you can find more about it on http://www.soft-amis.com/jsiner/inheritance.html
