Method modifiers and subclasses

Hi,

What is the expected behaviour with regards to method modifiers and sub classes?

I was expecting that all "before" sub routines would be run before any around subs.

In current tests, I am finding that a sub classes "around" is called before any parent classes "before" subs.


For a test I have there classes Base -> Sub -> Test  and 3 Roles A, B & C applied to Base.
Role A provides a sub test().

Roles B&C and Classes Base,Sub,Test provide before,around & after subs for the test sub.  Calling test on an instance of Test gives:

Test->before test
Test->around test
Sub->before test
Sub->around test
Base->before test
C->before test
B->before test
Base->around test
C->around test
B->around test
A->test
B->after test
C->after test
Base->after test
Sub->after test
Test->after test

For classes Test and Sub, their around sub is called before the parent classes befores are called.
For roles, all "before" are called before "around" is called on the class where the roles are composed.

Is this correct?


Thanks in advance
