Summary:  May add a method to subclass of user class...

Original Submission:  If the user has a deep hierarchy of several classes such 
as:

NewClass1 <- NewClass12 <- NewClass123

Then when the user adds a method to NewClass1, it might improperly get added to 
NewClass12 and NewClass123.  

In practice this almost never happens since, most of the time, the classes 
inherit directly from a class like NSObject or NSView and don't have any 
subclasses of their own. 

This is a minor problem as the resulting files present no problem when edited 
in Gorm.

To further clarify, what I'm talking about here is not concerning what would 
normally happen with inheritance.   The issue is that these methods will be 
saved as methods NewClass12 and NewClass123 in the data.classes file in the 
.gorm package when they shouldn't be.   They should only appear on NewClass1 in 
the data.classes file.

The user should still see them in the inspector and the outline view as methods 
on NewClass1 and it's subclasses, but the issue was with the data.classes file.

To clarify...

NewClass1 is the superclass...
   NewClass12 is a subclas of NewClass1...
      NewClass123 is a subclass of NewClass123
