The member property is NOT exposed. Call will be like this: $holder->object_call(); Code could look something like this (untested): class holder { public function __call($method, $args) { list ($propname, $membermethod) = explode('_', $method, 2); if (!property_exists($this->$propname) || !is_object($this->$propname)) // add other policy return null; // or any other error behaviour return $this->$propname->$membermethod($this, ...$args); } } (*) really just one place at the moment, tightly coupled, and not as general as shown above. I don't see a use for the fully general case, where the member objects would both care about knowing their holder object _and_ work with practically any holder object. best regards Patrick
