1) I read this as:

typedef Base::Base Base;

(I interpret this as useless way to import _one_ name,
Base, in the local scope. Do you really mean

  using Base.*;

?  ;-)

2) Why only the public interface ? Why not all the
members   ? It's inconsistent to only import public
members: C++ constructs don't depend on accessibillity.
