 ===== Delegation and Dynamic Inheritance =====
-AmbientTalk features object inheritance or delegation. By means of delegation, an object can reuse and extend the defintion of another establishing a child-parent relationship. We identify two kinds of delegation relationships: **IS-A** and **SHARE-A**, embodied by the ''extend: with:'' and ''share: with:'' language constructs respectively.

+These relationships defines two different semantics for clonning child objects. Clonning a **IS-A** child also clones its parent whereas **SHARE-A** child shares the parent of the cloned object.
