They are, although you do not see it in the management interface
of the derive ZClass.

  The derived ZClass inherits both the property sheets and the
  properties from the base class. They are not listed
  in the derive class' PropertySheets tab but you can
  create views for them.

You can, but you need to be careful in defining "_properties"
in the derived class.
