virtual base class

Dear Rooters,

first of all, Cint is GREAT for testing hardware. It's so useful to be 
able to call memberfunctions interactively and watch what happens at the 
outputs.

-------------------------------------------------------
I have a problem with virtual base classes:

Everything works fine, when MAdc and MTrigger are derived from
MDaq WITHOUT virtual,   

//****************************
class  MDaq : public TObject
{ ........ClassDef(MDaq,0) }

class  MAdc : public virtual MDaq
{ ........ClassDef(MAdc,0) }

class  MTrigger : public virtual MDaq
{ ........ClassDef(MTrigger,0) }
//******************************

but as is, I get the compiler error:

MAdc_Cint.cxx: In function `class TBuffer & operator >>(class TBuffer &, class MAdc *&)':
MAdc_Cint.cxx:424: cannot cast up from virtual baseclass `MDaq'

Is the problem that there is only ONE TObject for several 
derived classes? But to derive MAdc directly from TObject 
additionally doesn't work either.

    thanks,
           Florian Schopper
