New Comment:
You can access non-statics this way.
$myClass = 'MyClass';
echo $myClass->anythingElse;
Why wouldn't you be able to access variables via :: ?
I don't see anything on whether this should, or should not work. But
why shouldn't/wouldn't it be possible to access a static variable using
a variable to set the object name?

static $myVar = 'testval';

echo "Expected output: ".MyTest::$myVar;
echo "<br/>";
$s = $sClass.'::$myVar';
echo "Using this as the string: ".$s."<br/>";
echo "Using Variable-named reference: ".${$s};
?>

Expected output: testval
Using this as the string: MyTest::$myVar
Using Variable-named reference: testval
