Are you talking about a child class that extends another parent class, 
or something similar?  Kind of like this:

   class FooParent {
      var $Username = '1';
   }

   class FooChild extends FooParent {
      var $Username = '2';
   }

   $F = new FooChild;
   echo $F->Username;

If so, then, no, I don't think there's a way to distinguish the two.  
The second instance will prevail.

To distinguish, you could create two separate object names...

   $F1 = new FooParent;
   $F2 = new FooChild;
   echo "$F1->Username and $F2->Username";

Or perhaps calling two instances of the class into separate object
names, then modify one instance of the Username variable...

   $F1 = new FooChild;
   $F2 = new FooChild;
   $F1->Username = '3';
   echo "$F1->Username and $F2->Username";

All depends on what you're trying to do.

Enjoy,
