I'm not really sure I understand your question, but from looking at the code there is a syntax error in the first class that might stop it from working as you want. Where you have

class ModelClass {
private = $parent;

change it to

class ModelClass {
private $parent;

yes, have some syntax or typing error in my code
i directly typed in notepad without testing

I'm with Brian - I'm not really sure I understand your question either and if you want to rephrase it maybe we can help better.

Here is a simplified teaching example of how to use public and private properties and methods. You can install it and run it to see how it works. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best, ~Ray

I didn't want to delete the question and I thought the answer was probably right.
