Description:
------------
I am requesting a pseudo variable be created to reference an instance's parent instance. For example, within an instance of class 'team' there are instances of class 'players' created. This will allow public methods and properties belonging to the 'team' instance to be called from one of the 'players' instance.

Test script:

The concept of "an instance's parent instance" is completely dependent on your code and the application. It would make no sense for PHP itself to implement something like that.

Make player's constructor take a parameter for the "parent" team. Problem solved.
