Maybe I just haven't worked with this, but it seems to me that the
scope declarations on one side of an assignment wouldn't apply to the
other, at least not by default.  Thus, since you didn't specify that
maxp was a member of bounded, it looked in the local scope.  Did you try:
const bounded bounded::max=bounded::maxp   ?

If this isn't the way things work, it should be, in my opinion...

And if this is what you said in your message, forget this, but I don't
think it is.
