Can't access properties in nested class

[bluestarstudios]

I'm having huge trouble in getting the boilerplate to share data between classes. As an example, I'm defining a protected property protected $plugin_url; in includes/class-plugin-name.php. It's populated when __construct() runs. I can access the property in that class using $this->plugin_url. However, I can't get it to work in public/class-plugin-name-public.php. Tried all of the following with no success: $this->plugin_url $plugin_url parent::plugin_url self::plugin_url ...

I've noticed that none of the Boilerplate classes extend the core class, which means that none of the properties or methods can be easily shared. I thought that replacing class Plugin_Name_Public { with class Plugin_Name_Public extends Plugin_Name { would do the trick, but no luck. Any suggestions?

I see that overall the Boilerplate works around this by re-defining $plugin_name and $version in each class. Seems like a massive duplication of data every single time. Particularly with a plugin that may end up growing to dozens of extra classes/files.

Is there a reason why the boilerplate uses nested classes? Could this be why I can't access properties defined in one class in a sub-class like Plugin_Name_Public?

Please help. Thanks!

Did you require the Plugin_Name class when extending the Plugin_Name_Public class? If I'm not mistaken, there is no autoloader in this boilerplate so things won't just work on their own...
