For example, if you train a wizard to level 20, then switch him to a fighter, he'll be a comparatively terrible fighter, but he'll still retain a decent chunk of wizardy ability. If you then train him to a level 20 fighter, you'd have a character which isn't as strong in either specialty as a level 40 wizard or level 40 fighter, but has some abilities of both.
I think Icepick already has this covered:

My current thinking is that as you level up, the attributes of the character that increase are effected by the abilities you use in the course of that level. Additionally, if you use an ability enough, you will eventually be able to memorise it, and use it more freely. So if you level up a character as a spell caster for 20 levels, you are free to then change him to a warrior, but he won't have the advantage of those 20 levels of using warrior-like abilities - he'll basically he starting from scratch, with all of his bonuses coming entirely from his equipment rather than his 20 levels of experience.
