Thanks for bringing this up right now ... The DotGNU Java to .NET compiler
was spitting out illegal code right now ... 

So to clear up a point  ... how does Java figure out the OuterClass 
reference to pick up ?

ie
      public Inner(Outer parent)
      {
          this.parent = outer;
      }

the "parent" argument in this case ?. Is it implictly provided by the 
compiler ?. If so , how ...

I would like to generate similar or identical semantics for our compiler.
