I don't think you can have multiple classes in a single class library, unless the file got corrupted or you mucked around manually with the data file. There's no telling which class it would use - depends on which is found first in a search I'd suspect.

If I recall, in general if you have multiple classes or functions the one declared first is the one that works - the second one is ignored.

But... It's a really good idea to try to avoid that. It can be really tricky to debug this especially if you don't know or forget you have the same function class in multiple places.

>I have some evidence that it ignores the first class in the classlib and uses the last one, but I need to know if that is reliable behavior. There are other cases VFP picks the last of two definitions with the same name. For example, if there are two procedures with the same name in a prg file the second version gets called, not the first one.
