There is only one inheritence option, that is extend.
If you use it for maintain version value equals across all maven
projects of a same "business" project, but want different dependencies
for each... you are toast :) you have to pick one or the other, can't
have both.
What you can't inherit, you will copy/paste.
I never tried, but : since project.xml is an xml file, maybe it's
possible to use external entities to import some other file (xml
fragment) into project.xml. This way you could share the dependency
part between 2 project.xml. As I said, I never tried.
About your A -> B -> C,D problem, note that maven 1.x doesn't handle
dependencies of dependencies. You would need to declare C and D as
dependency of A too.
