Quick question about 'using'

Can using be used to make public a public method of an a member object?

class foo {void bar() {}};

class doink {public: void bar(){Foo.bar();} private: foo Foo;}

can 'doink' be built like this instead?

class doinkUsing {public: using Foo.? private: foo Foo;}


yeah, I know how to use using with ancestor classes - just wanted to know if it could be used to avoid writing forwarding functions.

Assuming that you left out the inheritance for doink and doinkUsing accidentally, then yes AFAIK. However - you can't selectively use overloaded functions from the base class - the using syntax means that it's all or none.
