I'm not sure I get the question correctly, but I can try to answer 
anyway ;-)


Assume that you have a class B, which is derived from a class A.

Then you have toto() implemented in @A/toto() and overloaded in @B/toto().

And the question is : if I have an object x of class B, how can I call 
@A/toto on it ?

The answer depends on where you want to call it from :

a) If you in a method of class B, for instance @B/toto(), the answer is: 
toto(x.A, ...)

b) Otherwise, I think the answer is: you can't  (that what encapsulation 
and overloading are for).
