As that page describes it, Vala allows you to inherit at most one class and any number of interfaces (and the page explicitly says that it's a restricted form of multiple inheritance). C++ allows you to inherit multiple concrete classes. (It happens to be the case that I've never encountered a case where I thought I had a reason to use this capability, but I am not every C++ programmer.)

So, it's perhaps a little hidden away in one sentence of the last paragraph of that interface/mixin section, but Vala interfaces may contain concrete implementations. I.e. Vala has multiple inheritance - the only difference in Vala is that the classes being inherited from must mark themselves as being comfortable with that (not a fundamental difference).
