I ran your code and got the following results.

cls1.mymethod  0
cls2.mymethod  0
cls1.mymethod  1

The last line is the problem. dodefault(tcParm) still should be 0 because o2.mymethod() did not pass a parameter.

>>I am seeing different behavior with pcound(). If I call a method with a parameter directly all works well. If I subclass the method and put in a dodefault(), pcound() returns a 1 even though I don't pass a parameter. For example:
