Nested Class member function can't access function of enclosing class. Why?

Question

Please see the example code below:

class A
{
private:
    class B
    {
    public:
        foobar();
    };
public:
    foo();
    bar();
};

Basically what Georg Fritzsche said

#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

class A
{
private:
    class B
    {
     A& parent_;
     public:
        //B();  //uncommenting gives error
        ~B();
        B(A& parent) : parent_(parent) {}

        void foobar() 
        { 
         parent_.foo();  
         cout << "A::B::foo()" <

If you uncomment the default B constructor you would get an error
