  Then perhaps have the inherited class within fruit?

class Fruit {

But then AppleSeed doesn't know about Apple....

So I forgot the apple :P But then inner inheritance won't work.

 class Fruit {
  class Seed {}
  class Apple {
   class Appleseed : Seed {} //same error as before
  }

 If you make seed static, then Appleseed & apple will have access to Fruit but seed (by itself) won't. Other combinations faile as far as I can tell. How far you can take inner class inheritance I don't know, but it seems not that many levels.
