It is possible.

class new_born_child
{
public:
        int foo()
        {
              return cprintf("new_born_child foo");
        }

        int ExampleOfParentFoo()
        {
              return parent::foo();
         }
};


by the way,  the code you gave will not compile ("missing return value"
error)
