aggregation?

Hey,

Am I right in assuming that aggregation is going to be removed in PHP5?

How could I live without aggregation or multiple inheritance?

I have a choice, I prefer the latter. But not a 100% MI as I know there
are a lot of debates on 100% MI. What I would like to see is a
aggregation like MI. Say

class foobar extends foo, bar {}

The methods and properties foo has will have higher priority than bar when
being inherited by foobar. So parent::method will be foo::method. As of
properties, a class can always initialize its properties in a method or
even constructor when it is to be extended at a second place.

Bar's constructor will not be called automatically.

It actually is aggregation right? But without deaggregation and so that
no exteral hash table outside Zend, hence no bug like in PHP4.

That's my little simple proposal of aggregation-like multiple inheritance.
Agree?
