If you happen to pause a second and have look at the issue at hand, I'm confident that you'll see the difference between the case we're discussing and your example.
};
I think that you win the consistency argument. struct X { typedef void Y; typedef void Z; }; struct Y { }; template<class Z> struct V: public Y, public X { Y y; // X::Y Z z; // X::Z }; Very counter-intuitive since C++ code usually respects locality of reference, but consistent.
