Inner class can't access container class inherited attributes

An inner class cannot directly access the inherited attributes of its container class.

To reproduce:

class Parent {
String name
}
class External extends Parent {
String outer
Internal inner(String p)

{ new Internal(inner:p) }

class Internal {
String inner
void boom()

{ println "Outer is " + outer + ", inner is " + inner //******** HERE'S THE PROBLEM println "But parent is " + name // Only works with External.this.name or getName() }

}
}

new External(outer:"good", name:"fucked").inner("good").boom()
