Yes, but I want to ignore Parent behaviour, and Re-inherit GrandParent
behaviour..

adding parent::__construct() in the constructors of both Parent and

Hi List,

Sorry if this is the wrong list for this kind of stuff.. I'd be happy to
re-post this to the users mailing list.

With the recent updates that will raise E_STRICT on static calls that
are non static, how do we properly do the following..

I have a class named 'GrandParent' a class named 'Parent' and a class
named 'Child'

GrandParent has a constructor, Parent overrides it and Child does too..
What if I want to call GrandParent's constructor from the child?

Most languages allow this through casting the class into the ancestor
and call then call the method, but I can't do this with PHP, or can I ?
The other solution (right now) would be GrandParent::__construct(), but
this is not OOP anymore.. So it seems kind of weird that we get limited
in functionality, for OOP-ness, but not adding the functionality to
solve common design problems that we're raised by introducing this..

Will we get casting in the future?
