I heard that there's also a diamond mine somewhere in the multiple inheritance forest, but all pointers to its exact location seem to be off a bit :)

Indeed, look West, there is a diamond mine. By the Virtual Inheritance Mountains, which are North of the Inheritance Forest. The location makes sense, because virtual inheritance helps solve the "diamond" problem. (I am not a good C++ programmer, so if this is wrong, please correct me).
