Try doing this: message foo { message X { } message bar { message X { } message abc { *optional foo.X abc_x = 1;* } } }
You can also prefix the type with a dot, e.g. optional *.**foo.X* abc_x = 1; That has the effect of fully qualifying the message, as you can enclose the entire message foo above in another message foo, which also provides an X, and have these fields in the innermost message: optional *.**foo.X* x1 = 1; // outer foo optional *.**foo.foo.X* x2 = 2; // inner foo optional *foo.X* x3 = 3; // inner foo -Constantinos On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 5:22 AM, naderp <paul.na...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Does the protocol buffer language have a mechanism for resolving types > across scopes.
