Yes. Even if I separate the two classes, my questions remain unchanged: What's a good way to allow one type of object to send private-ish messages to another type of object? As for details: My outer class is a server. My inner class is a connection for that server. When a connection ends, I need a way to notify the Server object to remove it from it's maintenance list. That's the message I'm wanting to hide from the outside world. Thanks for the suggestions. James Edward Gray II
