Wrong.:) But an easy confusion.

This isn't inheritance; it's a matter of scope (see ASLG p311-323).

To inherit properties and methods from another script object you use the
'parent' property. Try the following:

======================================================================

on run
tell exemple to addition(2)
maVariable of exemple
end run


script papa
property maVariable : 0
--
on dialogue(txt)
display dialog txt
end dialogue
end script


script exemple
property parent : papa
--
on addition(n)
set maVariable to (my maVariable) + n
dialogue("Valeur de 3maVariable2 : " & maVariable)
end addition
end script

======================================================================

Here the 'exemple' object inherits from the 'papa' object; 'papa' is the
parent of 'exemple'.


Also note the use of the 'my' keyword in the line:

set maVariable to (my maVariable) + n

which is needed to refer to a property in another script object. (You don't
need the 'my' keyword to refer to a property in the same script object.)
This is [also] a scoping issue, so it's a good idea to learn all this scope
stuff before getting into OOP, just so you know what's going on.
