Subject: recursive

so, the following is a "recursive" function (i used the "this" keyword for clarification):

public int Blah {
return this.Blah();
};

is the following also "recursive"? :

public int Blah {
return someChildOfThis.Blah();
};

what i mean is, is there a different word besides "recursive" used to describe the above situation? where a function isn't really calling ITSELF, but rather itself in some other instance of the same class? like "semi-recursive" or "instance-recursive" or something?

just wondering.... this is a cool lab, btw.
