The problem here is how many, with what frequency. For a small number I would use FoxBin2Prg to create two files, a comparison tool to merge, rename the result class and FoxBin2Prg to create the VCX. For a single one once a week I copy one of both into a different classlib, change uniqueid (foxref uses this) and copy and paste it from there. _bowser to change the parent class. Bit boring, but different work.
I tend to use two instances of VFP side by side both with PEM Editor - quick'n'dirty work.
Since I must check it anyway (to much chance to hickup something in a fast coded machine, you know, visibility, comments, different defaults ...), this works fine for me.
To start with something using code - several tens of classes at once.
