Compiling with -D_HUH_ gives an error:
inh.cpp(19) : Error: member 'ThePrivateBase' of class 'Derived' is not 
accessible

According to my (limited) knowledge it should be accessable. Or am I wrong?

Thanks,

Yes, this should be allowed. First I wasn't sure, so I asked this in the 
german C++ newsgroup and got a confirmation that the _HUH_ part is 
valid. I also checked with PC-Lint which also accepts this.

Thanks!

Than now this email is a compiler bug report.
