Description
What is the feature?
I have the following request:
I have a global variable A that is required by several config files. I placed it in base.py and had a.py, b.py, and c.py inherit from it. Finally, I used main.py to include these three files.
However, this raises an error: "Duplicate key is not allowed among bases".
How can I elegantly resolve this issue?
Any other context?

Research direction
Reproduce the setup described with base.py, a.py, b.py, c.py, and main.py, starting from the "Duplicate key is not allowed among bases" error. Read the configuration inheritance behavior and determine the intended handling of shared global variables. Done should include an agreed inheritance behavior and coverage for this case.
