Hi,

I want to separate nested classes in multiple files to increase readability but i need to keep the access to parent members.
Is it possible?

Thx

This is a solution, but it's not nice:

mixin(import("filename1"));
mixin(import("filename2"));
...

Why do you need so much/so many nested classes?

I only have 5 classes nested into one but it sufficient to make the code difficult to read.

I began to separate them by hand by passing a parent reference but it's ugly because i need to make the parent members accessible in public to have acces. Is there any "friend" like in C++ to keep them private to others?

Have you considered the 'package' access specifier? It allows access to the modules of the same package but not to others.

In D there is no C++ friend nor classes split as in C#. D Classes are supposed to be written in a single file. I have shown you a rough solution with import. Maybe others will give you more suggestions.
