Craig,
A few years back I was programming in MS Visual C++. I remember coming across an article on MSDN where MS said to stay away from inheriting more than 2 levels away from the superclass. example,

Superclass--->Inherited Class--->Inherited Class

They said there was a speed degradation if you tried to inherit anymore after that. I haven't looked into for awhile, have you heard anything similar about this?
