> Declaring a type that extends an imported declared type leads to Null Pointer.
> According to the documentation at http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html/ch04.html#d0e5060
> it should be possible to declare:
> {quote}
> import org.people.Person
> declare Person end
> declare Student extends Person end
> {quote}
> However, adding the last line, leads to an NPE during readKnowledgeBase:
> {color:red}
> java.lang.NullPointerException
