Yes, Single inheritance in Ruby. You'll specialize the parent class 
after the
<
You can extend your objects with modules at runtime too,
foobar.extend()
And you can scope to the parentclass (and their methods) by invoking 
super(),
I think it would be easiest if you make some tiny classes, and subclass 
them. Then add a module and see how super is resolved


As for your second question, maybe someone else can help you more.
