Is there a way for the default page permissions to be inherited from the parent page?

Thanks,

Thanks for answering Sebastian.  This seems to me like a very basic item that may have been overlooked, as every access control system I've ever seen is based on inheritance.  My immediate problem is that if someone has rights to edit a page, then they can also create new pages.  But if they forget to assign themselves permissions for the newly created page, then they can't work with the page they created!  Is there a way around this?
