can i do this:

class B {
protected:
enum E { X };
};

class D : public B {
public:
using B::E;
};

to import the enum's into the public scope of D??? gcc tells me i can't when
i try to use it later like this: D::X;

You've declared 'B::E', not 'B::X'. Why do you expect 'D::X' to be
public all of a sudden?

How could I import both E and X then?

Huh? Two 'using' statements, maybe... Just a thought...

What's the point of declaring an enum E protected in the first place?
It's not a method, it's not member data, it's just an enumerated type.
