Bug description:  self and parent aren't using the class where defined

Description:
------------
When defining properties using constants with parent or self, they are
resolved using computed classes instead of defined classes.

This behavior appears to have existed since PHP 5.0.5 and still exists in
PHP 5.3beta3, a 5.3 CVS snapshot (200902122000), and 5.2 CVS snapshot
(200902121200).

Someone has brought this up before in php-internals:
http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118839969729862&w=2

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	class Father {
		const my_name = 'Father';
		public $name = self::my_name;
	}
	class Son extends Father {
		const my_name = 'Son';
		public $daddy = parent::my_name;
	}
	class GrandSon extends Son {
		const my_name = 'Grandchild';
	}

	$older = new GrandSon;
	echo "{$older->name}\n";
	echo "{$older->daddy}\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Father
Father

Actual result:
--------------
Grandchild
Son
