Well, the example of Fabio shows, that the inherited procedure is running in the context of the Superclass. But the property is (re)defined in the context of the Subclass, so it's quite right, that the SuperClass code execution fails, because the overridden property is hidden in the context of SuperClass, because the property belongs to the SubClass.

I've tried to overcome that by also overriding the call procedure (but not overloading it with the same code, that would break inheritance):

DEFINE CLASS subClass  as SuperClass 
   hiddenproperty = 2   
   HIDDEN hiddenproperty

   PROCEDURE call
      SuperClass::call
   ENDPROC 
ENDDEFINE

But that doesn´t change the context of the call procedure. There seems no way out, but I think that's by design and I wonder if some other language handles this differently.
