Java lets you inherit from multiple interfaces, which is mostly what
matters for design.

				Thomas.

PS: Actually, the idea that "single inheritance leads to poor design"
itself is flawed in many ways; among other things, the effect that a
restriction to single inheritance has on design depends on a lot of
other factors, such as the presence of dynamic typing, garbage
collection, and other available abstraction mechanisms.  Sticking with
single inheritance in C++ is somewhat more cumbersome, for example,
than it is in Smalltalk.
