Nested classes?
May 8th, 2005, 10:55am  
Maybe not strictly a syntax question, but this seemed like the best place..

My problem is this; in some older sketches I have set up a series of classes that are kind of nested- e.g creating an instance of the 'outer' class (colony) which in turn creates as  part of its variables an array of instances of the 'inner' class (termites)- at the time this seemed a good way of structuring things. However this means termites can only call methods of other termites by going through the specific instance name of the outer class; this was OK before but does not scale well.

Can anyone suggest a solution that will allow multiple 'outer' classes or colonies without breaking things?

Cheers,
Samuel
