You're not kidding that they're messy ;)

I don't think I was exactly confusing the nesting and inheriting
aspects, just misunderstanding the "all or nothing" requirement. I
thought it applied "globally" so you couldn't use a raw type inside a
generic containing class because that would be partially qualified
from a global point of view.

>From japitools point of view it does make things a little complex to
deal with because of the way japi files represent these things - it
does lead to situations where japitools' representation will have to
act as if some types are bound and some unbound. But I can see how
from the Java language perspective this doesn't apply.

It certainly does.

Thanks!
