Hi all.

I am having problems with inheritance in reference class, here is a small
example:

Myclass = setRefClass("Myclass",
                       fields = list(
                           fa = "numeric",
                           fb = "numeric",
                           filename = "character",
                           data = "data.frame"
                       ))


Myclass$methods(
    initialize = function(fa = 0, fb = 0, filename = "") {
        message("Initializing object in class...")
        .self$fa = fa
        .self$fb = fb
        .self$data = read.table(.self$filename, header=TRUE)
    })

# Myclass1 = setRefClass("Myclass1",#                        fields =
list(#                            fc = "numeric"#
  ),#                        contains = "Myclass"# )# #
Myclass1$methods(#     initialize = function(..., fc = 0) {#
message("Initializing object in class1...")#         callSuper(...)#
      .self$fc = fc#     }# )# # Myclass2 = setRefClass("Myclass3",#
                     fields = list(#                            fd =
"numeric"#                        ),#                        contains
= "Myclass1"# )# # Myclass2$methods(#     initialize = function(...,
fe = 0) {#         message("Initializing object in class2...")#
 callSuper(...)#         .self$fe = fe#     }# )

This loads ok. But if you uncomment the subclasses R will complain when
loading:

==> R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source testLoadRef

Exited with status 1.
