% start by loading the example:

| ?- logtalk_load(carengines(loader)). ...

% both cars provide the same interface, declared in the protocol % that is implemented by the categories imported by each object:

| ?- sedan::current_predicate(P).

P = reference/1 ; P = capacity/1 ; P = cylinders/1 ; P = horsepower_rpm/2 ; P = bore_stroke/2 ; P = fuel/1 yes

| ?- coupe::current_predicate(P).

P = reference/1 ; P = capacity/1 ; P = cylinders/1 ; P = horsepower_rpm/2 ; P = bore_stroke/2 ; P = fuel/1 ; yes

% the sedan engine properties are the ones defined in the corresponding % imported category (classic):

| ?- sedan::(reference(Name), cylinders(Cylinders), horsepower_rpm(HP, RPM)).

Name = 'M180.940' Cylinders = 6 HP = 94 RPM = 4800 yes

% the coupe engine properties are the ones defined in the corresponding % imported category (sport) plus the ones inherited from the top category % (classic) which are not overridden:

| ?- coupe::(reference(Name), cylinders(Cylinders), horsepower_rpm(HP, RPM)).

Name = 'M180.941' Cylinders = 6 HP = 115 RPM = 3657 yes
