No. This for two reasons.
The first is technical: since, historically, Tiles loads all the
definitions and resolves all inheritance at load time, it's impossible
to do a search for an "unresolved" parent definition. This problem,
however, can be overcome using a non-resolving technique, that is
potentially slower.

The second is about design: does it make sense to have a dynamic
parent definition?
