this is really a non-issue if you set up your classes correctly. your
base class should be the one that handles all the database interaction.
this class should have a member that stores the connection.
your extended class should be the one that is more specific to the task
at hand, i.e. managing a user.
the extended class can access all the members of the parent class the
same as if it were it's own.
<?php
class DB
{
var $connection;
function set_conn()
{
$this->connection = "hello";
}
}
class User extends DB
{
function get_connection()
{
return $this->connection;
}
}
?>

hopefully i've sufficiently answered your question.
