Accessing top master page properties in a nested master page code behind

I have a nested master page that has its own master page. The parent master page has a property defined in its code behind.

  Public ReadOnly Property SelectedPage() As String
    Get
      Return _selectedPage
    End Get
  End Property

How can I reference the parent master page's property from within either the child master page's code behind Page_Load or aspx template page?

Here is how I use

MasterPage tmp = this.Master;
while (tmp.Master != null)
{
    tmp = tmp.Master;
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  MyDemoMaster m = Master as MyDemoMaster;
  m.MyProperty = "My button text";
}
