title: Extending with a base controller and calling parent::WhateverAction
body: <p>I'm working on a Zend 1.* project where every controller extends a base controller and we duplicate actions in both with the child calling "parent::whateverAction()".</p>
  
  <p>Is duplicating/calling a parent action inside a controller common practice in Zend? I always assumed such techniques warranted a quick flogging. Is it my misunderstanding?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
