yes, but then you (well I've had to in the past), do something like

class Foo {
	public:
	struct Pod { ...};

};

class BiggerFoo : public Foo {
	public
	struct Pod : Foo::Pod { ... }; // this is a lie now
	...
};

It gets annoying to have to write
	struct Pod { struct Foo::Pod base; ... };
as that exposes the hierachy to all BiggerFoo::Pod users.
