A reasonably intuitive parallel that occurred to me is that $this is also
maintained through self:: calls (as long as they're not to a method
declared static).

So if you replace the static:: call in my previous example with a $this->
call, you get the same result:


# https://3v4l.org/deRcD
class A {
    function call() {
        self::method1();
    }
    function method1() {
        $this->method2();
    }
    function method2() {
        echo 'Base definition';
    }
}
class B extends A {
    function method2() {
        echo 'Override';
    }
}
(new B)->call(); # echoes 'Override'
