The reasoning being that Second uses self.x, which is only defined in First, and Third uses self.z, which is only defined in Second. So those classes should extend from what they need, so they can be used by themselves. Your code, as it is, will never work if you try to create an object of any class EXCEPT if_over. Ideally, each piece of the chain will work, and the next piece adds more, instead of the bottom piece being the only usable one.

class First:
    pass

class Second(First):
    pass

class Third(Second):
    pass

class if_over(Third):
    pass
