But currently in PHP 5.2 (I don't have PHP 5.3 to test it) it will output: A Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::nb() in Z:\localhost\testLSB.php on line 11 User that sees this, doesn't have any idea where is the problem and how to find some information about it.

If I may throw my 2 cents in, if it's even worth anything anyway. This is exactly what I would expect the output to be. If you would want A::mB() to go back to B::nB() I would switch the self::nB() to static::nB(), and have an abstract nB() method declared in A. Is this not how everyone thinks it should be?
