Am I missing something?  "super" calls the method with the same name
in the superclass.  So here, it calls Child#aM (which doesn't exist in
this example), then m would be called on whatever that call returned

class Parent
  def a
    puts "parent a"
  end
end

class Child < Parent
  def a
    puts "child a"
  end
end

class Grandchild < Child
  def a
    puts "grandchild a"
  end

  def grandpa_a
    super.a
  end
end

g = Grandchild.new.grandpa_a

Output:
test.rb:19:in `grandpa_a': super: no superclass method
`grandpa_a' (NoMethodError)

I can't think of a way to do what you want except by the methods
suggested previously.
