[Zope] inheritedAttribute search order

[Ken Whitesell]

Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one!!!

Per the Python 2.3.2 documentation, Section 9.5.1, it's a 
depth-first, left to right resolution.

In this case, it's Base1 -> Base2 -> Base3

If Base1 is a subclass of Base0, then it's
Base1 -> Base0 -> Base2 -> Base3
