    (cl-defstruct (my-foo)
      slot1)
    (cl-defmethod my-val ((x my-foo)) (my-foo-slot1 x))
    (cl-defstruct (my-bar
                   (:include my-foo))
      slot2)
    (cl-defmethod my-val ((x my-bar))
      (+ (my-bar-slot2 x) (cl-call-next-method)))

     (my-val (make-my-bar :slot1 4 :slot2 5))
     ==> 9
