What an interesting question.  :-)  The MSVC++ compiler accepts your
snippet as is, and even allows me to declare an instance of class
FooBar.  IMHO, however, it should at least have complained that I was
publicly deriving from a protected class.  That is, class FooBar :
public Foo, protected Foo::Bar would seem the minimum that could be
correct.

What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Hello,

I can't find the paragraph in the C++ standard that defines the start of the
class scope. For instance, is the following legal?

class Foo
{
protected:
   class Bar {};
};

class FooBar : public Foo,public Foo::Bar
{
};
