I have problems including descriptions when using inheritance.
This is the root class

CONTAINER Trootclass
{
	GROUP GROUP_ROOTCLASS
	{
		BUTTON BUTTON_ROOTCLASS {}
	}
}

And this is the descendant

CONTAINER Tdescendant
{
	 **INCLUDE Trootclass;**  
	GROUP GROUP_DESCENDANT_CLASS
	{
		BUTTON BUTTON_DESCENDANT {}
	}
        **INCLUDE Trootclass;**  
}

When using the blue alternative, I do not see the root class button at all.
When using the red alternative, I see the root class button, yes. But it behaves strange, I cannot select the GROUP_ROOTCLASS at all in the Attributes Manager in C4D, something is not working here..
How do I use the INCLUDE directive correctly, or furthermore - what have I done wrong?

Have you tried including Tbase to the Trootclass? I think that it would be required (even if you aren't using the base groups).

Yes it is there, I omitted it here in the forum to not clutter my code.
But I made a mistake in my initial post, it is the Descendant's controls that do not show up when I use the "blue" approach. The root controls are there all right.

But have I misunderstood? I am supposed to see both the root's controls and the descendant's controls? Right?

Ok, I found the culprit.
I had the enum for IDs starting on the same value, for both the root and the descendant, in their header files. So changing this fixed it.

It isn't required.
But if you do not register the description along with a plugin,
you have to register it with RegisterDescription().
