I've used http://drupal.org/project/relativity but it isn't ready for D7. It allows you to create a child node from the parent node or assign the hierarchy from existing nodes. But it doesn't do the inheritance. I found the following possibilities for it, I've not used any of them.

I'm getting ready to start a site that will center on three types of nodes that are in a hierarchy. The parent node will have lots of fields, the child node needs to inherit some of those fields, plus add some of its own. Then the grandchild inherits from the child.
I'm not seeing a lot of ways to handle this without a bunch of custom code. Does anyone have any ideas?
Yes, I have seen "Hierarchical Organization of Nodes" on GDO. It didn't address this need.
