struct R1 {};
struct R2 : R1 {};
struct R3 : R1 {};
struct R4 : R2, R3 {};

struct A { virtual R1& foo(); };
struct B : virtual A { R2& foo(); };
struct C : virtual A { R3& foo(); };
struct D : B, C { R4& foo(); };     // should be rejected

R4 contains two subobjects of type R1. When D::foo is invoked in the context of
A (e.g.: in the following function bar) the cast from R4 to R1 is ambiguous.
Therefore D::foo should be rejected.

void bar(D& d)
{ A& a = d;
  R1& res = a.foo();
}
