Web parts do not follow the Parent Child paradigm. Perhaps you mean cloning.

You can clone a webpart and set all of its properties at the web part level and the use the cloned web part anywhere in the system. If you are just putting a web part on a page and setting its properties and then copying the webpart to a different page, the settings are independent although the initial copy will be identical at first. This is by design. To achieve what you want, please clone the web part, set all of the settings in the webpart properties as defaults and then use the webpart through out the system.

Webparts can inherit other webparts just like page types can inherit other page types. It's very similar to how a C# class can inherit other classes. Page templates can also have inheritance. So I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. If your webpart is built properly you can use it on as many pages or templates as you wish without any inheritance or issue. So maybe explain what your desired result would be.

I am giving you one example.If we are creating a webpart(As a Parent) and i want to use this in another template as a child. And if i am changing anything else in parent webpart then child webpart should be automatically updated.

Thanks.
