@staticmethod verses multiple #extends inheritance

Hi,

I've been using Cheetah for a few years, but I've haven't been  
following the list or the developments closely.
And I remember that multiple inheritance wasn't possible with previous  
versions of Cheetah.

Now I'm reading that since v2.2.2 multiple inheritance is possible.  
Great! :-)
I read about the #@staticmethod decorator, and this recipe http://packages.python.org/Cheetah/recipes/staticmethod.html

What would be better to use if I would like to mix #def's of different  
template clases?
What's the difference between
#from foo import foo
and
#extends myclass, foo
?


Currently I'm using an Cheetah / pure python inheritance hierarchy to  
use different framework functionality and libraries throughout my  
different pages. Something like:
BaseSkeleton.tmpl
   -> ExtraComponents.tmpl
     -> PythonFramework.py
       -> page.tmpl
         -> typeA.tmpl
         -> typeB.tmpl
         -> typeC.tmpl
           -> subtypeC2.tmpl

Now I would like to use #def methods from typeA.tmpl in subtypeC2.tmpl.
And maybe also the other way around: use #def methods from  
subtypeC2.tmpl in typeA.tmpl

Would I be using the now possible multiple inheritance? Or the  
#@staticmethod decorator?

best regards
And thanks for keeping Cheetah alive and kicking!
