    Using PHP 5.3 this works fine for me:

    <?php
    
    class Foo
    {
        public function foo_method()
        {
            print 'hi';
        }
    }
    
    function get_foo()
    {
        return new Foo();
    }
    
    get_foo()->foo_method();
    

    prints hi

    Stuff like this is used all over the place for database wrappers since you can do db()->query($sql) without any trouble.
