+### Class Inheritance (extends)
+
+CSSL supports class inheritance using the `: extends` syntax:
+
+```cssl
+// Base class
+class Animal {
+    string name;
+
+    void Animal(string n) {
+        this->name = n;
+    }
+
+    void speak() {
+        printl("Some sound");
+    }
+}
+
+// Derived class - inherits all members and methods from Animal
+class Dog : extends Animal {
+    void Dog(string n) {
+        this->name = n;
+    }
+
+    // Override parent method
+    void speak() {
+        printl("Woof! I'm " + this->name);
+    }
+
+    // New method only in Dog
+    void fetch() {
+        printl(this->name + " fetches the ball!");
+    }
+}
+
+Dog d = new Dog("Buddy");
+d.speak();    // "Woof! I'm Buddy"
+d.fetch();    // "Buddy fetches the ball!"
+```
+
+### Extending Python Objects
+
+You can extend Python classes/objects directly:
+
+```cssl
+// Extend a Python object using $
+class ExtendedGame : extends $GameEngine {
+    void newFeature() {
+        printl("New CSSL feature!");
+    }
+
+    // Override a Python method
+    void showUsername() {
+        printl("Custom username display: " + this->username);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In Python:
+```python
+class GameEngine:
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.username = "Player1"
+    def showUsername(self):
+        print(f"Username: {self.username}")
+
+cssl = CSSL.CsslLang()
+cssl.share('GameEngine', GameEngine())
+cssl.run('''
+    class MyGame : extends $GameEngine {
+        void customMethod() {
+            printl("Extended from Python!");
+        }
+    }
+''')
+```
+
+### Class Overwrites
+
+Use `: overwrites` to replace methods in an existing class/object:
+
+```cssl
+// Overwrite methods in a Python object
+class MyOverrides : extends $GameEngine : overwrites $GameEngine {
+    // This method will REPLACE the original showUsername() in $GameEngine
+    void showUsername() {
+        printl("OVERWRITTEN: " + this->username);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+When you use `: overwrites TargetClass`, all methods defined in your class will replace the corresponding methods in the target. This works with:
+- Other CSSL classes
+- Python objects via `$ObjectName`
+- Shared objects
+
+### python::csslize() - Import Python Objects
+
+Convert Python objects to CSSL-compatible wrappers:
+
+```cssl
+// Import a Python object
+py_obj <== python::csslize($MyPythonInstance);
+
+// Now use it like a CSSL object
+py_obj.someMethod();
+printl(py_obj.someProperty);
+
+// Or use it as a base class
+class Extended : extends py_obj {
+    void newMethod() { ... }
+}
+```
+
+In Python:
+```python
+class MyPythonClass:
+    def __init__(self, name):
+        self.name = name
+    def greet(self):
+        return f"Hello, {self.name}!"
+
+cssl = CSSL.CsslLang()
+cssl.share('MyPython', MyPythonClass("World"))
+result = cssl.run('''
+    py_obj <== python::csslize($MyPython);
+    printl(py_obj.greet());  // "Hello, World!"
+''')
+```
+
+### Function Extends & Overwrites
+
+Functions can also extend or overwrite other functions:
+
+```cssl
+// Base function
+define baseFunction() {
+    string greeting = "Hello";
+    int count = 42;
+    printl(greeting);
+}
+
+// Extend: inherit local variables from baseFunction
+define extendedFunc : extends baseFunction() {
+    // 'greeting' and 'count' are available here!
+    printl(greeting + " World! Count: " + count);
+}
+
+// Overwrite: replace the original function
+define myReplacement : overwrites baseFunction() {
+    printl("This replaces baseFunction entirely!");
+}
+
+// After defining myReplacement, calling baseFunction()
+// will now execute myReplacement instead
+baseFunction();  // prints: "This replaces baseFunction entirely!"
+```
+
+Overwriting Python functions:
+```cssl
+// Replace a shared Python function
+define myVersion : overwrites $pythonFunc() {
+    printl("CSSL implementation replaces Python!");
+}
+```
+
+### Non-Null Declarations
+
+Use `*` prefix to declare non-nullable items:
+
+```cssl
+// Non-null variable - can never be None
+vector<dynamic> *myList;  // Always initialized, never null
+
+// Non-null function - must never return None
+define *alwaysReturns() {
+    return "Always a value";  // Error if returns null
+}
+
+// Non-null class - all methods return non-null
+class *MyClass {
+    string getValue() {
+        return "Value";  // All methods must return non-null
+    }
+}
+
+// Non-null open parameter - filters out None values
+define process(open *Params) {
+    // Params will never contain None values
+    foreach item in Params {
+        printl(item);  // Guaranteed non-null
+    }
+}
+```
