+        class MyClass {
+          function hello() {
+            print "Hello, World\n";
+          }
+
+          class MyClass2 {
+            function hello() {
+              print "Hello, World in MyClass2\n";
+            }
+          }
+        }
+
+        import function hello, class MyClass2 from MyClass;
+
+        MyClass2::hello();
+        hello();
+        ?>
