So I forgot the apple :P But then inner inheritance won't work.

  class Fruit {
   class Seed {}
   class Apple {
    class Appleseed : Seed {} //same error as before
   }
  }

  If you make seed static, then Appleseed & apple will have access 
to Fruit but seed (by itself) won't. Other combinations faile as 
far as I can tell. How far you can take inner class inheritance I 
don't know, but it seems not that many levels.
