Improper inheritance occurs when a class is inherited from merely for code reuse without having any other relationship. Example Cat Inherits from Engine. A Cat is not an engine however both an engine and a cat purr.

As long as no diamond problems (improper inheritance) single or multiple inheritance can all be proper inheritance. When usng multiple inheritance with diamond problem you can use virtual inheritance to make the multiple inheritance a proper one.
