Squid by default adds the X-Forwarded-For: etc headers as appropriate on
all traffic going through it whether as a parent or child proxy.
ALL you have to do is make sure you are not stripping any of those
headers in your config.

What you _might_ see are two levels of forwarded-for as squid A and
squid B each add theirs.
These should be sequential ie. A forwarded-for C ... B forwarded-for A
... a good server detects proxy B forwarding for C.
