I guess you could always do a singleton so that you always have the same
instance. Add something like this to the core class (not tested):
static $_instance;
function getInstance() {
if(self::$_instance === null) {
self::$_instance = new self();
}
return self::$_instance;
}
Then you can do:
class A extends framework_class {
var $core;
function A() {
$this->core = core::getInstance();
$this->core->go();
}
}
