Render parent component from child component

See original GitHub issue

Background and Motivation

@javiercn say I have a component (Foo) currently displayed on a page. Then I decide all instances of Foo should be rendered inside a container (<div>). Do it manually sounds great when Foo is just being used few times, but not ideal if usability is high. Then, I create a Parent component to render the container and I make Foo to inherit Parent. The idea is any time Foo is rendered it should also render the parent it inherits from. The big question is, Is this possible today? The way BuildRenderTree works is forward only (if I’m not mistaken), thus it renders parent then child. I haven’t seen child then parent.
