Sorry, my sentence with 'inherit directly' was missing the point and probably      
misleading.       
      
Both A::foo() and A::i are _static_ public, so they should be accessible      
directly. The example above is just a stripped down version of the example in      
the C++ standard (1998), 11.2.3, where it says the code should be legal.      
Now that I've tried that specific example, I noticed this is also rejected:     
     
class A { };     
class B : private A { };     
   
class C : public B {      
A a;  // ''error: 'class A' is inaccessible''   
}
