If I may throw my 2 cents in, if it's even worth anything anyway. This 
is exactly what I would expect the output to be.

If you would want A::mB() to go back to B::nB() I would switch the 
self::nB() to static::nB(), and have an abstract nB() method declared in 
A. Is this not how everyone thinks it should be?
