Synopsis: Repeated Inheritance and Select
Description
Attached is the Teaching Assistant example used to demonstrate Repeated Inheritance.
In the debugger, the fields student_account, faculty_account, and computer_account have the expected values, but printing both {Teaching_Assistant}.faculty_account and {Teaching_Assistant}.student_account displays the same value viz. {Teaching_Assistant}.faculty_account, surely the student_account value should be usedwhen there is no ambiguity, and the SELECTed value be used when there is ambiguity in a polymorphic call.
To Reproduce
Compile and run files attached.
