Obviously. If you know how to script then you would know how to implement inheritance on your own based on my example.

PHP Code:

// Weapon Script: Objects
public function ColoredRect(objname, nx, ny, nw, nh, cr, cg, cb, ca, cf) {
  temp.obj = this.Rect(objname, nx, ny, nw, nh);
  obj.color = this.Color(null, cr, cg, cb, ca, cf);
  obj.join("type_coloredrect");
  return obj;
}
public function SimpleColoredRect(objname, nx, ny, nw, nh, cr, cg, cb, ca) {
  temp.obj = this.Rect(objname, nx, ny, nw, nh);
  obj.red = cr;
  obj.green = cg;
  obj.blue = cb;
  obj.alpha = ca;
  obj.join("type_simplecoloredrect");
  return obj;
}
public function Color(objname, cr, cg, cb, ca, cf) {
  temp.obj = new TStaticVar(""@objname);
  obj.red = cr;
  obj.green = cg;
  obj.blue = cb;
  obj.alpha = ca;
  obj.float = cf;
  obj.join("type_color");
  return obj;
}
// Class Script: type_color
public function toint() {
  if (this.float) {
    this.check();
    this.red = int(this.red * 255);
    this.green = int(this.green * 255);
    this.blue = int(this.blue * 255);
    this.alpha = int(this.alpha * 255);
    this.float = false; 
  }
}
public function tofloat() {
  if (!this.float) {
    this.check();
    this.red = this.red / 255;
    this.green = this.green / 255;
    this.blue = this.blue / 255;
    this.alpha = this.alpha / 255;
  }
}
public function check() {
  if (this.float) {
    for (temp.i: {"red", "green", "blue", "alpha"}) {
      if (this.(@ i) > 1)
        this.(@ i) = 1;
      else if (this.(@ i) < 0)
        this.(@ i) = 0;
    }
  }
  else {
    for (temp.i: {"red", "green", "blue", "alpha"}) {
      if (this.(@ i) > 255)
        this.(@ i) = 255;
      else if (this.(@ i) < 0)
        this.(@ i) = 0;
    }
  }
} 


I don't use inheritance myself because the time I did I found I was overcomplicating the script (a large one) and stopped doing it. Instead I now just have a single class that does everything, even stuff you might not need it for, rather like TShowImg.

So how would you implement inheritance in Graal?

Classes should be global in all cases. We certainly don't need classes specific to a script.

Obviously. What you should have is a script to control all the classes on your server and not be specific to any object's script.

Edit: By the way PFA (?), if Graal didn't have a garbage collector you would cause memory leak with that
