I'd like to add something to my last post on this subject.

Consider an example:

class AA
{ public:
    class NAA {};
};

class AA1: public AA
{ public:
    class AA
    {  public:
         class NAA{};
    };
};

class AA2: public AA
{ public:
    class AA
    {  public:
         class NAA{};
    };
};

class BB: public AA1, public AA2
{
   AA1::AA::NAA  x;     // what is the type of x???
};

What is the type of member "x" in class BB?

We should use:

   AA1.AA.NAA

to denote the class NAA nested in class AA nested in class AA1, and use

   AA1::AA.NAA

to denote the class NAA nested in the base class AA of AA1.

To conclude, we use"::" to denote a specific base when the member is ambiguous  
due to multiple inheritace, and we use "." to denote the member or property of  
a qualifying entity ( an object or a class ).
