[rules-users] Can Rule call another Rule

[Scott Reed]

While I am not a Drools expert, I know it's helpful to start with the 
objects that the rules will work with.
I do not see why you would need one rule to call another or to inherit 
from another.
Have you reviewed the examples to see how Drools works?
