An enclosing instance that contains is required

Below is the code. positionObj is the object that I am trying to use and i

Answer 1

You're trying to use the non-static inner positionObj class without an instance of Secretary for it to belong to.
A non-static inner class must belong to an instance of its parent class

You should probably change positionObj to a normal class or a static inner class.

Alternatively, you can write someSecretary.new positionObj() to create an instance of the inner class that belongs to the someSecretary instance.
