Answer 1

A method will look in its own class' namespace to resolve fields. While methods defined in sub-classes can look up the hierarchy to resolve fields, the same is not true for classes defined higher up in the hierarchy, i.e., super-classes won't look down the hierarchy to resolve fields [and their values]
