hi anton,

take a look at the javaDocs in Prototype.java
-> 
http://adele.helma.org/source/viewcvs.cgi/helma/src/helma/framework/core/Prototype.java?rev=1.52&cvsroot=hop&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

getParentPrototype() and isInstanceOf() should do the trick.

p.s. i guess it would be a good idea to put the Helma JavaDocs somewhere 
online for easier reference.
