Setting var in parent class

[Swedie]

I have trouble setting a variable in a parent ID where I have the following structure on my classes.

$CMS->TEMPLATE->functions.

And in a function under the class TEMPLATE I want to set $CMS->in_admin = true.

I've added global $CMS, then run $CMS->in_admin = true.

But this doesn't do the job. $CMS->in_admin is not set to true or even touched.

Is this possible?

depends how your class is setup...

does $in_admin exist in $CMS?

if so, can you show us your class, or the snippet where its set/declared?

The code suggests that the TEMPLATE is a property of $CMS, but says nothing about $CMS being a parent of the TEMPLATE.
