I think the problem here is a confusion based on the idea that there is 
necessarily some direct correspondence between method names and strings 
passed to __callStatic. It's like confusing URLs with file paths.

The fact that an object *may* have a private method named "foo" doesn't 
have any bearing on whether classname::foo() invokes __callStatic('foo') 
or not. The existence or otherwise of such methods in the class is 
irrelevant. __callStatic receives a string, and what it does with that 
string is entirely up to whoever is writing it.



class First {
	protected static function test(): string {
		return "Calling First::test\n";
	}
}

class Second extends First
{
	public static function __callStatic(string $name, array $args): string {
		return "Calling callStatic::$name\n";
	}

	public static function pass(): string {
		return Second::test(); // The inherited method
	}
}


echo Second::pass();
echo Second::test(); // Not the inherited method
