This brings into the open my next lurking hunch.  Is there some hidden lore
(I dasn't say "unwritten," and "undocumented" is a no-no) about how the
relation of subclass to superclass should be reflected in the arrangements
of items in lists in Makefile?  I have indeed checked the models for
Makefile in Sugarscape and in DScreiber's Voting, without finding anything
obviously useful.  Is it more obvious than it appears?

And I really need to find out why the thing fails when in fact it "should".
Hopefully, and I'd really rather be grovelling in relief at this point.
