Hi,

in that superclass-copy-constructor, the properties of the class 'Son'
should not be touched at all and left to theire defaults ? So that the
constructor would actually look like:

Son(Dad d)
{
  super(d);
}

What when there is more than one superclass ?

   Root
    ^
    |
  Parent
    ^
    |
  Child

Should there be a super-superclass-constructor as well ?

Child(Child o)
{
  super(o);
  // copy properties of child.
}

Child(Parent o)
{
  super(o);
}

Child(Root o)
{
  super(o);
}
