Hm. Makes sense.

Yes, thinking more about it, it becomes a bit clearer. A child is also
an instance of all of its parent classes.

So the parent has a "private part" and the child has a "private part",
but they might also have a "shared part" ("protected") and there both
child and parent are responsible.

If the child overwrites a parent method, this will also affect the
parent since $this->method() will refer to the child's method, even if
called from a method defined in the parent class.

So if there is no "shared part" between parent and child, does that mean
the child class should not have been derived from the parent in the
first place? Like "nothing to share -- nothing to inherit"?

Greetings,
