Sure: Just define the auxiliary classes as subclasses of the main
class. These will then get instantiated at the same time when the
main class is instantiated:

  template <typename T>
  class my_container
  {
  public:
    class iterator;
    // more stuff...
  };

  template <typename T>
  class my_container::iterator
  {
    // class definition; it may also be defined in the body of
    // my_container. This is necessary with some current compilers
  };

  template class my_container<my_type>;

This would instantiate all members not instantiated prior to this
statement, including class members.

I am a realistic optimist - that's why I appear to be slightly pessimistic
