It's a bit unclear to me what you actually want to achieve.
If you want to select a class which is inside another class in the HTML,
just use a space between the class names:

.text .tbox
{
    /* is applied to elements of
        class "tbox" within elements of
        class "text"
    */
}

If you just want to group property/ value blocks together to decrease
redundancy, you might do this:

.text
{
    /* everything that's unique to "text"
    */
}

.tbox,
.text
{
    /* everything "text" and "tbox" have
        in common that is not listed as property
        in the first "text" selector
    */
}
