Yes, that's normal. If you override one function in a child 
class, you need to explicitly bring in the other overrides by 
adding

alias texture = Control.texture; // I think you can also use 
`super.texture`

in the class with the new override. That tells it to look up the 
name from the parent as well.

The rationale is here: http://dlang.org/hijack.html

It isn't just properties btw, any case of overloads is subject to 
the same rule.
