Hi @junkew.
The clone feature is implemented via the method __assign.
This is done to enable multiple objects to be referenced, a feature i wanted so inheritance from more than one would be possible, to on a very basic level, mimic PHP class extension and traits.

see __assign

The following code shows you how it can be used.

#include <AutoItObject_Internal.au3>

$cFoo=IDispatch()

func cFoo_Method1($self)
;~ whatever we want to have shared as a method printing a property of the current object
ConsoleWrite($self.parent.Property1)
endfunc

$cFoo.Method1 = cFoo_Method1

$oFoo1=$cFoo

;~ Have independent propertyvalues
$oFoo1.Property1="Hello world 1"

$oFoo2=IDispatch()

$oFoo2.__assign($oFoo1)

$oFoo2.Property1="Hello world 2"

MsgBox(0, "", $oFoo1.Property1)
MsgBox(0, "", $oFoo2.Property1)

MsgBox(0, "", FuncName($oFoo1.Method1))
MsgBox(0, "", FuncName($oFoo2.Method1))
