Here is a piece of code. This works if i uncommented the "public".
  Otherwise it says A::B::C::D not accessible.
  If "public" is there compiler says fine. But in that case B and C are also
  private. Why didn't compiler complaint ?
  Is this feature not standardized ?

#include <iostream.h>

  class A {
    class B {
     class C {
    //  public :
      class D {
              } Dobj ;
             } Cobj ;
            } Bobj ;
           } Aobj ;

 void main( void )
  {
   A::B::C::D Myobj ;
  }

B and C are private.  The reason your compiler didn't complain is just
that your compiler is broken.  I suggest that you report the bug to
your compiler vendor.
