+The parent of an object is bound to a field named ''super''. The delegation chain defined by an object and its parent (or chain of parents) determines the scope in which the message is looked up. As any field in AmbientTalk objects, the ''super'' field can be dynamically modified.

+> def OpenConnection := object: {...};
+    def ClosedConnection := object: {...};
+    def Connection := object: {
+      def open() {
+        super := OpenConnection.new();
+    };
+    def close() {
+      super := ClosedConnection.new();
