in thread a question on namespaces and inheritance

An object can call a method in any namespace by explicitly stating the namespace of that method

Just because you can it doesn't mean it is a good idea to do so... actually, I found it rather a bad idea to call a method on an object that's not related via an is-a relation to the method package.

The obvious solution for the OP problem is to move the common methods to the base class or to use a mixin class.

    I would disagree, if the classes are his design. If he knows the class structure, he should be able to do this confidently.
