createclass's Issues

Multiple inheritance chain error

Hi.

I am trying to implement multiple inheritance but when I chain more than 2 classes it is cause LOVE to crash with the following error:

Error: [love "boot.lua"]:48: Failed to initialize filesystem: already initialized

I am uncertain if is it a limitation a bug or am I doing something wrong.
This is what I am trying to do:

createClass = require "createClass"

Car = createClass()
function Car:constructor(_wheels)
  self.wheels = _wheels
end

FamilyCar = createClass(Car)
function FamilyCar:constructor(_seats, _wheels)
  self.super.constructor(self, _wheels)
  self.seats = _seats
end

SportCar = createClass(FamilyCar)
function SportCar:constructor(_engine, _seats, _wheels)
  self.super.constructor(self, _seats, _wheels)
  self.engine = _engine
end

peugeot = FamilyCar(5, 4)
ferrari = SportCar("V8", 2, 4) --this is causing the crash

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.print(peugeot.wheels)
end

Here is a project that reproduce the problem:
multiple inheritance.zip

Using
LOVE 11.4
createClass.lua
macOS 12.3.1

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
