  That might surprise many beginner and mid-level C++ programmers, but
there's nothing special going on there. You can pre-declare an inner
class and declare it later. The "x::y" part simply means "class y inside
class x". And the ": z" part means, of course, inheritance from z.

  In other words, this is perfectly valid (and quite handy):

class A
{
    class B;
    ...
};

class A::B
{
    ...
};
