Subclassing TestSuite: put a class "BetterTestSuite" between MyGroupTest and TestSuite does not work?

Hi everybody

I'm having the following test group:

class MyGroupTest extends TestSuite {
function __construct() {
TestManager::addTestFile($this,
APP_TEST_CASES.DS.'views'.DS.'applications'.DS.'bla1.test.php');
TestManager::addTestFile($this,
APP_TEST_CASES.DS.'views'.DS.'applications'.DS.'bla2.test.php');
}
}

Works like a charm. So I wanted to refactor this a bit:

class MyGroupTest extends TestSuite {
var $tests = array('bla1', 'bla2');

function __construct() {
foreach($this->tests as $test) {
TestManager::addTestFile($this,
APP_TEST_CASES.DS.'views'.DS.'applications'.DS.$test.'.test.php');
}
}
}

Works like a charm. But now I wanted to put the constructor into its
own class, so I can subclass any other group test from it:

class BetterTestSuite extends TestSuite {
var $tests = array();

function __construct() {
foreach($this->tests as $test) {
TestManager::addTestFile($this,
APP_TEST_CASES.DS.'views'.DS.'applications'.DS.$test.'.test.php');
}
}
}

class MyGroupTest extends BetterTestSuite {
var $tests = array('bla1', 'bla2');
}

Does *not* work. The result is always:

0/0 test cases complete: 0 passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions.

Anybody knows why? No idea what's the problem here... I guess it has
something to do with how SimpleTest handles groups and stuff (maybe it
depends on that the tests are really put into TestCase and not into a
subclass of TestCase or something)... But I just don't find the
reason...

Thanks a lot for help!
