Thanks Sam! That's a pretty good solution. But, just to be curious, do you know why is working in an older version, and not in the new one?
It's been my experience that each successive major gcc release is more diligent when it comes to strict compliance with the C++ language.
Previous versions of gcc might've allowed you to get away with using A or B interchangably, with each other, after declaring "typedef A B". However, there's probably some obscure part of the C++ language standard which, basically, specifies that a typedef is, precisely, a "one way street".
Roughly speaking: "typedef A B" means that "B is the same thing as A", but it does not mean that "A is the same thing as B". Or, the other way around, depending on your point of view.

Can you give me a point?Try changing your definition to: template<class T> inline typename Test<T>::const_iterator Test<T>::begin() const { return list.begin(); };
