Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean here, but this compiles just
fine:
public class Foo {
private static class Bar {
}
private static class Baz extends Bar {
}
}
The Bar class is private outside its scope of Foo, but since Baz is in
the scope of Foo, it can still see Bar.

I haven't fully digested this thread yet, but I'm inclined to agree with
you.
