I can't smell the error your getting from here and from what I see there should be no problem: class Foo { private $var; function __construct() { $this->var = "foo"; } function getFoo() { return $this->var; } } class Bar { private $var; private $foo; function __construct() { $this->var = "bar"; $this->foo = new Foo; } function getBar() { return $this->var; } function speak() { echo "I am ",$this->foo->getFoo(),$this->getBar(),"\n"; } } $b = new Bar; $b->speak(); > > Can it be done? yes. see above. :-) > > TIA, again > > Ken > > --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
