IMHO, forcing JavaScript to mimic classical inheritance is a means of using the language in the wrong direction.

JavaScript is meant for prototypal inheritance, and it should be used that way.

AND (a big AND) jQuery != JavaScript; jQuery.extend != "JavaScript inheritance"

As a corollary, I don't agree with @balupton 's aggressive and destructive approach.

Claiming

"
F.prototype[m] = arguments[i][m];
"

having nothing to do with inheritance, simply shows a lack of research, to say the least.

...

Yet, I'm doubtful about calling this usage a "pattern", but let's keep the terminology aside.

And every pattern has its use. Every pattern has its advantages and liabilities.

@balupton:

Can you link to jQuery plugin you mentioned before.

About the Inheritance here is the link about the Prototypal Inheritance by Douglas Crockford http://javascript.crockford.com/prototypal.html

This pattern uses that logic plus loop and copy of all the object methods. That is why I mentioned the Inheritance.

Yes, I know the video you mentioned.

This pattern is the product of my personal necessity to divide my framework into separate modules.

I'm sharing this pattern because it can help someone out there. Is this the best practice for extend objects? I don't know. I was hoping that the JS community can give me so constructive criticism and alternative better solution.

This seems no different to what jQuery plugin developers do every single day:
myPlugin.js > $.extend($.fn, {one: ..., two: ...});

What makes your thing special?

Btw, I find the introduction paragraph incredible misleading as this post has nothing to do with inheritance and is just about extending objects. For inheritance see http://vimeo.com/9998565
