You could do this:

Framework BRL.Blitz
Import BRL.StandardIO

Type t1
	Field val1:Int
	Field val2:Int
	Field val3:Int

	Function create:t1()
		Local retval:t1=New t1
		retval.val1=5
		retval.val2=10
		retval.val3=15
		Return retval
	EndFunction
EndType

Type t2
	Method foo(v:t1=Null)
		If (v=Null)
			v=t1.Create()
		Endif
		
		bar(v)
	End Method 
	
	Method bar(v:t1)
		DebugLog(v.val1)
		DebugLog(v.val2)
		DebugLog(v.val3)
	EndMethod
EndType

Type t2ext Extends t2
	Method bar(v:t1)
		Print "Overridden method! - " + v.val1 + " - " + v.val2 + " - " + v.val3
	End Method
End Type

Local meep:t2=New t2
Local baz:t2=New t2ext

meep.foo()
baz.foo()
