> With form-widget, it is not possible to extend another form with the same form-name. I agree with this behaviour when we extend a form from another one in the same file to avoid recursive definition.
> Exemple :
> FormsA.xml
> <form name="test">...</form>
> <form name="test" extends="test">...</form>
> => recursive definition
> But :
> FormsB.xml
> <form name="test" extends="test" extends-resource="FormsA.xml">...</form>
> => should work because forms are in different files
> I think this limitation is not necessary when we extend a form from another file and I've found a "TODO" comment in ModelForm.java about this problem.
> So I propose a patch to fix this small issue. I hope I've not missed some implications.
