Most straight forward would be to inherit, like this: class a { public $one; public function someMethod() { $this->one = '1'; } } class b extends a{ public $two function someOtherMethod() { $this->two = '2'; } } $object = new b; $object->someMethod(); $object->someOtherMethod(); print $object->one, $object->two; In addition to that, if you actually need to use an instance of a separately to b, you can pass the instance of a into b as a parameter. Definition for 'b' would need to be something like: class b { public $a; public $two function __Constructor($dummy) { $this.a = $dummy; ) function someOtherMethod() { $this->two = '2'; } } $object1 = new a; $object2 = new b(&$object1); $object1->someMethod(); $object2->someOtherMethod(); print $object2->a->one, $object2->two; There are more than likely other ways to go about this.
