[Javascript] Can a reloaded parent window close its child?

[BEKIM BACAJ]

Obvious and not obvious sametime
All the pages wiewed on browser win are to be considered as 'clones' of the 
original generator.
So if one clone has a child, the other is not awear of it. Since a reloaded 
page is just another clone, the last child does not belong to him, because 
he is younger than this child and doesn't have any knowlledge of existance 
of his other clones nor his other relatives. Even if this child can be 
legaly proclaimed as a child of reloaded window, it isn't, a paradox that 
awaits our civilisation on horizon...
