Common techniques of feature-oriented programming (FOP) are important for software evolution and appropriate for implementing program families. It is discussed that the shortcomings in the crosscutting modularity cause problems in implementing unanticipated features. The discussed problems of FOP in this regards complicate the evolution of software. The integration of concepts of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) into existing FOP solutions is proposed. Three approaches to solve these problems are presented: multi mixins, aspectual mixins and aspectual mixin layers. Whereas, the first two approaches are only of conceptual nature, the third approach is implemented and Feature C++ with the ability to express Aspectual Mixin Layers is enhanced. FeatureC++ supports FOP in C++ and solves several problems regard- ng the lacking crosscutting modularity by adopting AOP concepts.
