Not sure I get your requirement exactly, but you could try this:

class A
{
    public function foo ()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

class B {
    public parent;

    // Constructor
    public function __construct ()
    {
        $this->parent = new A();
    }
}


// And then...

$b = new B();
$b->parent->foo();
