Summary:Where is "inherited" from?

I'm interested in learning c++, but in reading various stuff about it, I
have
yet to encounter the "inherited" scope specifier, ubiquitous in TCL
programs. Is there, in fact, no way in 'real' c++ to just call the same
function in a base class?

I can see how this migh cause some trouble with multiple inheritance, also,
I know that you can call a base class function by specifying it's name:
class x: public y { ..... };

and later, in a method of x

y::method();

but what I want to know is if

inherited::method();

will accomplish the same thing.

THanks!
