Okay so I am thick, but does the Polymorphism donkey upset Inheritance cart?

Using an example from a book to explain Poly...

*****

DEFINE CLASS xPoly AS custom

PROC show

WAIT WINDOW 'This is the root class'

ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE

DEFINE CLASS xPolyChild AS xPoly

PROC show

? 'This is the child of xPoly'

ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE

SET PROC TO ...

oTest = CREATEOBJECT('xPolyChild')

oTest.Show()

****

Only shows the child not the parent, unless I included DODEFAULT() in

xPolyChild.Show

Is this correct, it does make sense?
