the propertysheets of both the parent and child are called "Basic". So the
"Basic" property sheet of "parent" contains the "date1" property.

I have a view called "Properties" containing "properties/Basic/manage" for
"parent". I understand that when I establish a new view selecting 
"properties/Basic/manage" in the child's view tab I manage the property
sheet of the child, which still doesn't show any of the parents properties.

Did I miss anything?
