Error 182: struct ProtStruct2 cannot access
protected member struct ProtStruct1.
                    ProtStruct1* p;
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^    
class foo {
protected:
   struct ProtStruct1 { int ps1, ps2; };
   struct ProtStruct2 { ProtStruct1* p; };
};

>Is this a bug or a feature?

This is the ANSI C++ Standard.
Only derived classes and non-nested class members get special access to
protected members.  Not nested classes.
