I have a question about the diagram that is between the line number 297-303.

Does that mean, 
LOCAL COMMON inherits from PARENT COMMON directly? 
or LOCAL COMMON inherits from PARENT USB & PARENT BASE both? 

Thank you in advance.

My understanding of this would be that the overlays on the left are the overrides, they determine the final values, if you have a 'local common' it will override anything from parent USB or parent Base or parent common that "matches", but a more specific local USB partition definition will override local common. See lines 305-306 for exactly how it works, https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/crosutils/+/HEAD/build_library/README.disk_layout#305
