I think that means:

   class C
     def x
       1
     end

     localized :x   # or whatever

     def y
       x
     end
   end

   class D < C
     def x
       2
     end
   end

   D.new.y     #  1 (because it calls the 'local' def. of x

or something like that.  I've probably misrepresented it slightly.
