it will work if you include/require/require_once both
.inc files from the file but not for nested includes
(extended class including base class to be extended)
:(

The following code gives the error:
file: base.inc
<?php
class Base {
function Base(){}
function doit() {
echo "Class Base->doit()n";
}
}
?>
file: a.inc
<?php
include("base.inc");
class A extends Base {
function A(){}
function doit() {
parent::doit();
echo "Class A->doit()n";
}
}
?>
file: extend-test.php
<?php
include("a.inc");
$a = new A();
$a->doit();
?>
x:>php -f extend-test.php
Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in a.inc on line 6

the parent:: operator will work if both the parent and sub class are in the same physical file, but
not if they are in a separate file.
This works:
<?php
class Base {
function doit() {
echo "Class Base->doit()n";
}
}
class A extends Base {
function doit() {
parent::doit();
echo "Class A->doit()n";
}
}
?>
but if the two classes are in separate files, the following error is reported:
Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in a.inc on line 6
Of course, this may be an undocumented feature, but I can see no reason for it.
