State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  The following is a correct version of your code.
    First, you need to declare the class foo before using it.
    Second, to distinguish between class foo and function foo,
    you can use the scope operator "::".
    
    #include <iostream>
    
    class foo
    {
    public:
        foo() {};
    };
    
    class A
    {
    public:
        A() {};
        void foo() {};
        ::foo bar;
    };
    
    int main()
    {
        A oink;
    // gives same error as:
    // B oink;
    // (B not defn'd)
    }
