An example is worth a thousand words. So here it is:
Code:
class Test
{
    function _inherited(attributes)
    {
        if (this.rawin("fn"))
            print("found");
        else
            print("not found");
    }
}

class SubTest extends Test
{
    function fn()
    {

    }
}


Outputs "not found". But according to the documentation, `this` should be the class that inherits `Test`. So I don't get it. What's the purpose of this meta-method if not for this.

it would work if it would be a function called later.
Not the rawin() is your issue, but the very fact the keyword "extends" calls _inherited on the base class RIGHT BEFORE the new members and methods are added.
Additionally (or rather consequently) that very moment, this is of type "class Test" and not of type "class SubTest"

Code:

class Test
{
   
    function test()
    {
        if (this.rawin("fn"))
            print("found");
        else
            print("not found");
    }
}

class SubTest extends Test
{
    function fn()
    {

    }
}

local x=SubTest() ;
x.test() ;  //expected result
