[Xotcl] possible bug?

[Artur Trzewik]

  I suppose effect by redefining class

namespace import xotcl::*
# file 1
Class F1
F1 instproc foo {} {
     puts foo
}
# file 2 source file1
Class F2 -superclass F1
# file 3 source file 1
Class F1
F1 instproc foo {} {
     puts foo
}
Class F3 -superclass F1
F2 create f2
f2 foo
# F1 is not more superclass of F2
F2 superclass


Redefining F1 (double source) delete old implementation of F1 and so 
superclass of F2.

The same as

namespace import xotcl::*
Class F1
F1 instproc foo {} {
     puts foo
}
Class F2 -superclass F1
F2 create f2
f2 foo
F1 destroy
f2 foo
