stupid question from me, I didn't realize that. I know that the documentation prints the inheritance tree, I've should
have seen there first.

Ok, that's useful information. I understand now how it should be done correctly.

I've already read this but I wanted something that goes deeper in details. I think I could take also a look at the
source code if I want to know more about that (I'm interested how the reference counting is solved since I need to
implement something similar in one of my own libraries)

Thank you for your help, I'm a now a little bit smarter :)

Best regards
Pablo
