I'm fairly certain you must use a local or imported variable for string interpolation. The easiest solution? Why, make it local of course:

    $_staticVar = self::$_staticVar; // or did you mean self::_staticVar? Not too clear on that.

    echo <<Something {$_staticVar->something} more of something 


eos;

As for the reasons your examples didn't work:

    echo <<Something self::$_staticVar->{$something} more of something 


eos;

Interpolates undefined variables $something and $_staticVar, which results in an empty string and a notice.

    echo <<Something {${self::$$_staticVar->{$something}}} more of something 


eos;

Interpolates the value of something that definitely doesn't exist and never will and it's all really confusing but you know it doesn't work.
