The dangerous thing happening here is that the using declaration takes a snapshot of whatever entities named f in namespace A have been seen by the time the using declaration is encountered. So, from within B, which overloads are visible depends on where these code snippets exist and in what order they are combined. (At this point, your internal "but order dependencies are evil!" klaxon should be blaring.) The second overload, f(int), would be a better match for the call f(1), but f(int) will be invisible to B::g if its declaration comes after the using declaration.
