I say the structure has to be like this 

    Parent
    |    |
Child   ChildTwo
        |       |
ChildTwoFirst   ChildTwoSecond

Here ChildTwo class will have your added method. Hope that might help

In the child classes which need it, either directly or by defining an intermediate super class for the two specific children which inherits from the parent. If the method cannot be invoked on the parent, or on all of its children, it doesn't belong in the parent.
