I probably add the return in the mail without imagining il will change things.

My question was more on the use of ... versus the absence of ...
You anwer me by correcting my bug. So I can use callNextMethod with or 
without ... :

setClass("B",representation(y="numeric"))
setMethod("initialize","B",
          function(.Object,..., yValue){
              return(callNextMethod(.Object, ..., y=yValue))
          })

new("B",yValue=3)                   #1
try(new("B",yValueee=3))            #2 try(new("B",yValue=3,yValueee=3))   #3

setMethod("initialize","B",
          function(.Object, yValue){
              return(callNextMethod(.Object, y=yValue))
          })
new("B",yValue=3)                    #4
try(new("B",yValueee=3))             #5
try(new("B",yValue=3,yValueee=3))    #6

since yValue is missing
I understand that 6 does not work since yValueee is not a valid argument
But I would expect that 3 will work since it get a value for yValue and 
yValueee can be one of the ...

It does not...
