Yes, in the following example, the private member of the inner class is
accessible to the top level class.

public class ZZ {
  public class ZZ1 {
    private int a;
  }

  ZZ1 zz1;

  public ZZ() {
    zz1 = new ZZ1();
    zz1.a = 1;
  }
}

But the following cannot be compiled because "a" in type "ZZ$ZZ1" is
not accessible.  Isn't this an access from within the top level class?

public class ZZ {
  public class ZZ1 {
    private int a;
    public void foo() {}
  }

  ZZ1 zz1;

  public ZZ() {
    zz1 = new ZZ1() {
      public void foo() {
          a = 1;
      }
    };
  }

}
