>Description:
$ g++-3.0 -c error.cpp 
error.cpp:13: warning: lookup of `_TN' finds `class _TN'
error.cpp:13: warning:   instead of `typename B<_NY, _TN>::_TN' from dependent 
   base class
error.cpp:13: warning:   (use `typename B::_TN' if that's what you meant)
===============================================
I use type _TN in class B and I must refer to it
as "B::_TN" ?
>How-To-Repeat:
template <class _TTN, class _TNK>
class A
{
//public:
private:
	typedef _TTN _TN;
};


template <class _NY, class _TN>
class B : virtual public A <_TN, _NY>
{
	_TN func () = 0;
};
>Fix:
1) Do not typedef _TN (even private!) in the base class.
2) Instead of "_TN func () = 0;", write "B::_TN func () = 0;"
   (imagine that the name of class is 20 symbols long and
   you use type _TN 20 tymes).
3) Instead of "template <class _NY, class _TN>", write
   "template <class _TN, class _NY>", i.e. displace types
   in declaration.
