I believe he is trying to do (in Java, because it's easiest for me to
express it, here):

public class StandardHtmlHeader
{
  public String render() {
    return "Hello, World."
  }
}

public class SubStandardHtmlHeader extends StandardHtmlHeader
{
  public void render() {
    return super() + " Woohoo!"
  }
}

Well, okay, not exactly, since we're talking acquisition not inheritance.
But, the idea is the same. He wants to display the previous
standard_html_header, with some additional stuff added, in his SubFolder's
standard_html_header.
