Any [*namespace-definition*](namespace.def.general#nt:namespace-definition "9.9.2.1 General [namespace.def.general]") for a namespace N introduces
a [*namespace scope*](#def:scope,namespace "6.4.6 Namespace scope [basic.scope.namespace]") that includes the [*namespace-body*](namespace.def.general#nt:namespace-body "9.9.2.1 General [namespace.def.general]") for every [*namespace-definition*](namespace.def.general#nt:namespace-definition "9.9.2.1 General [namespace.def.general]") for N[.](#1.sentence-1)

For each non-friend redeclaration or specialization
whose target scope is or is contained by the scope,
the portion after the[*declarator-id*](dcl.decl.general#nt:declarator-id "9.3.1 General [dcl.decl.general]"),[*class-head-name*](class.pre#nt:class-head-name "11.1 Preamble [class.pre]"), or[*enum-head-name*](dcl.enum#nt:enum-head-name "9.8.1 Enumeration declarations [dcl.enum]") is also included in the scope[.](#1.sentence-2)

The global scope is
the namespace scope of the global namespace ([[basic.namespace]](basic.namespace "9.9 Namespaces"))[.](#1.sentence-3)
