If a declaration can be reached by several paths through a multiple inheritance
graph, the access is that of the path that gives most access[.](#1.sentence-1)

[*Example [1](#example-1)*: class W { public: void f(); };class A : private virtual W { };class B : public virtual W { };class C : public A, public B {void f() { W::f(); } // OK};

SinceW​::​f() is available toC​::​f() along the public path throughB,
access is allowed[.](#1.sentence-2)
