Class-based languages have often been criticised for their rigidity. Prototype-based languages on the other hand are usually considered too flexible. We claim that this flexibility is inherently correlated to encapsulation problems. We therefore propose a new scale of 'encapsulated' inheritance mechanisms on objects that combine the object model of class-based languages with the inheritance mechanism of prototype-based languages. It is shown that they combine the advantages but shun the disadvantages of both paradigms. A denotational semantics of an exemplar encapsulated inheritance mechanism on objects is given and compared with the standard denotational semantics of class- and object-based inheritance. This comparison confirms our claims.
