> Easy way to access mixins
> -------------------------
>
>                 Key: GROOVY-5298
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5298
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: groovy-jdk
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-2
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Venkat Srinivasan
>              Labels: mixin

> When we add mixins to a class, the mixins are available through the mixedIn property. We can access a particular mixin by using, for example
> {code}
> mixedIn[ClassA].foo()
> {code}
> This works well if we know what mixins are part of the class.
> There are times when we want to be able to 
> (a) get a list of mixins, and
> (b) be able to get a mixin one before the current mixin.
> For example, something like
> {{mixedIn.getPrevious(ClassA)}} would be very useful for method chaining purposes.
> Right now, I had to do the following to get to this (if there is a simpler way and I simply don't know it, please correct me):
> {code}
> def invokeOnPreviousMixin(MetaClass currentMixinMetaClass, String method, Object[] args) {
>   def previousMixin = getClass()
>   for(mixin in mixedIn.mixinClasses) { //Accessing private variable here
>     if(mixin.mixinClass.theClass == currentMixinMetaClass.delegate.theClass) break
>     previousMixin = mixin.mixinClass.theClass
>   }
>   mixedIn[previousMixin]."$method"(*args)  
> }
> {code}
> Thanks.
