To me it makes sense to have template classes with the same name, e.g.:

template< class A1 > class tEvent
{
  // Eventannouncement with one parameter of type A1
  virtual void Announce( A1 a1 ) {};
}

and

template< class A1, class A2 > class tEvent
{
  // Eventannouncement with two parameters of type A1 and A2
  virtual void Announce( A1 a1, A2 a2 ) {};
}

Our current version of gnu c++ doesn't accept it. Is it not allowed
or is gnu c++ wrong?

It is not allowed.  ARM 14.1: "A class template name must be
unique in a program and mayj not be declared to refer to any
other template, class, function, object, value, or type in
the same scope".
