I must admit that the desired output still leaves me puzzled, but you can reach a solution without using aliases, inheritance or possibly even multiple inheritance. Simply pass a D object as an optional parameter to C's doit() method. My solution below uses Moose, i cannot stress how incredibly useful Moose is, especially if you are considering using multiple inheritance (look into roles). Hope this helps. :)

#!/usr/bin/perl -l package A; use Moose; sub doit { warn "A::doit\n" } package B; use Moose; extends 'A'; sub doit { my ($self, $class) = @_; warn "B::doit\n"; return $class ? $class->doit : $self->SUPER::doit; } package C; use Moose; extends 'B'; package D; use Moose; sub doit { warn "D::doit\n" } package main; my $c = C->new; $c->doit( D->new );

output:

B::doit
D::doit
