class foo {
    // This property is used in children
    protected protectedProperty = 1;

    // This property is not used in children
    protected localProtectedProperty = 1;

    private function foobar() {
        // protectedProperty is used here, but defined in parent
        $this->localProtectedProperty = 3;
    }
}

class foofoo extends foo {
    private function bar() {
        // protectedProperty is used here, but defined in parent
        $this->protectedProperty = 3;
    }
}

?>
