Thread: Class Scope

Hi,

Can an instantiation of a sub-class call a function member of the class from which it is derived? (that sounds weird)

Basically...
eg)

Code:

class example { // Abstract Class

	protected:
		int x;
		
	public:
		void setX (int in_x) {x = in_x;}
		class chair {
			protected:
				float y;
				
			public:
				void setY (float in_y) {y = in_y;}
                                                };
};

If I have an object:
example::chair abc;

Can I access setX with abc? Perhaps not with this code example but how could this be achieved?

Thanks
