[Ed Merks <Ed.Merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Guillaume,

The UML project has an extended GenModel and has specialized some of the 
templates for generating the code.  Perhaps that's part of what's going 
on... 

I do have UML installed, so if you export to a zip the project with your 
model, I should be able to reproduce what you're seeing and determine if 
there's a bug in how EOperations are handled in a multiple inheritance 
scenario...

I suspect that you need to use UML's extended GenModel if you extend the 
UML model.  I've added the UML2 newsgroup to the "to"list of the reply 
for their comments about how one should extend UML2...
