I too have been in trouble when working with inheritance in eof. I think the only reason for using inheritance in the eo model is in case you want to make sql based (datebase based) queries at the base of the inheritance hierarchy. In all other circumstances i would try to avoid inheritance.
Note that not using inheritance in the eomodel does not prohibit using inheritance in the java class hierarchy.

Naw, Mike wrote it. It's shite. :-P
Anyway.
I've long since stopped trying to use inheritance since I always seem to run into trouble. So my advice is always to stay away from it - which is a shame since it sounds cool - and perhaps it's just me and my lacklustre programming skills - but I never found it worth the complexity.
FWIW, I rarely have a project where I don't use it. But I usually use the Single Table kind. Horizontal also works. Vertical might have some issues.
Hmmm, Thanks for the pointer. I was so badly burnt the last time that I haven't actually tried doing EOF inheritance for probably, well, 4 years now. It's probably time to try again since cases where it's an obvious design choice props up almost every project (as you say).
