I'm not sure you would want to assign null to $client->system. After
all, __set() might not be defined.

I agree with Rob here. If order is really crucial, then call the
statements in the correct order:

<?php

/**
 * causes $client to call __get() in order to resolve
 * 'system'
 */
$system = $client->system;


/**
 * You should add some handling here to make sure that
 * $system is really an object that implements your
 * multiCall() method, and not something else (like null).
 */


$system->multiCall(
    $client->methodOne(),
    $client->methodTwo()
);

?>
