inetOrgPerson inherits from person and organizationalPerson
so it is totally useless to add the latter; it is likely they
get filtered out somewhere when dealing with objectclass
inheritance.  Moreover, back-sql provides only a subset of the
functionalities of a real DSA, so don't be surprised if you
can't make it behave as you expect.  Would you mind investigating
a more significant multiclass case?
