Your question should be posted to users@cocoon.apache.org mailing list because it's about _using_ not _developing_ Cocoon. I, also, assume 
that you have in mind Cocoon 2.2.

Now to answer your question, it's a matter of setting 'super' block connection similarly as showed in the tutorial:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs/g2/g2/g1/1291.html (Connect two blocks paragraph)

Now it's worth to mention that the inheritance does not work as supposed, yet but there is a patch providing this functionality and I'm 
going to review it very soon (I hope, today).
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2038

If you are really eager to develop with blocks' inheritance you have handle calling super block manually for now.
