I do not understand what you are saying or implying here.
Take this R code:

####<code>
Y <- function(){
 XParent()
 print("hello")
}

XParent <- function(){
  X()
  print("H")
}

X <- function() { print("In function X") }

Y()
####</code>

and this is the output:

[1] "In function X"
[1] "H"
[1] "hello"


Implying that everything you seem to want printed is acually printed.
