The only possible kink is that functions.php of child theme is loaded before that of parent theme. So you would have to keep that timing in mind.
Outside of that normal PHP mechanics apply, both parent and child theme run in same WP environment.
Of course it somewhat depends on parent theme if class is coded to be convenient to extend and override.
