Hi Ethan, hi list,

I think I found a bug in additive inheritance for escalations.

here's what the docs say:
> Service and host escalation definitions can make use of a special rule
> that combines the features of implied and additive inheritance. If
> escalations 1) do not inherit the values of their contact_groups or
> contacts directives from another escalation template and 2) their
> contact_groups or contacts directives begin with a plus sign (+), then
> the values of their corresponding host or service definition's
> contact_groups or contacts directives will be used in the additive
> inheritance logic.

with the latests cvs version this doesn't seem work.
I looked at the source and the problem is that
xodtemplate_clean_additive_strings() is called before
xod_template_inherit_object_properties(). But the latter tries to do
some additive inheritance, too. Unfortunately the + signs are gone then.

My suggest would be to move xod_template_inherit_object_properties()
before xodtemplate_clean_additive_strings() so that the inheritance work
is done before the duplication tasks.
