Type names obey exactly the same scope rules as other names.
In particular, type names defined within a class definition cannot be used outside their class without qualification.
[ Example
: 
struct X {
  typedef int I;
  class Y { /* ... */ };
  I a;
};

I b;                            // error
Y c;                            // error
X::Y d;                         // OK
X::I e;                         // OK
