You have two cross-language interactions.
1) Subclass a LangX class in LangY
2) Instantiate a LangY class and use that object in LangZ
That LangX === LangZ is irrelevant to the discussion.
So long as you aren't peeking behind the curtain (method calls only),
Parrot should be able to mediate everything. In other words, if your
code is good OO code, then you shouldn't have any problems.
