When only one base type is specified for a C++ type that actually has multiple bases, pybind11 will assume that it does not participate in multiple inheritance, which can lead to undefined behavior. In such cases, add the tag multiple_inheritance to the class constructor:

py::class_<MyType, BaseType2>(m, "MyType", py::multiple_inheritance());

The tag is redundant and does not need to be specified when multiple base types are listed.
