I was following almost literally the example given in the "Drools
Introduction", Section 2.1.1.4., Type Declaration 'extends'.
It appears that Drools is very similar to
Eleusis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleusis_%28card_game%29>;-)

This is what's in the unit test "test_ExtLegacy.drl":
declare BetterLegacy extends LegacyBean
// novel field
oneMoreField : String = "Hello"
// inherited fields redeclared to set initial value
doubleField : Double = 3.3 @position(1) // tag
inherited
field, will be 1st field
strField : String = "XX"
intField : int = 245
prop : boolean = true
// objField is not redeclared
end
and this one "test_Extends.drl"
declare Person
age : int = 99 @position(2)
name : String = "john doe" @key @position(1)
end
declare Student extends Person
school : String @key @position(3)
end
declare LongTermStudent extends Student
years : int @key @position(5)
course : String @position(4)
end

It doesn't work:
declare Customer extends Person
is declined with
Cannot extend supertype 'date.cust.Person' (not a declared type)
