"ScalarType" illegal qualified name in member declaration in vcg/simplex/face/base.h

This is still happening with Visual Studio 2017. It doesn't like (complex/base.h):

class TriMesh
    : public  MArity4<   BaseMeshTypeHolder<typename Container0::value_type::TypesPool>, Container0, Der ,Container1, Der, Container2, Der, Container3, Der>{
    public:  MArity4<   BaseMeshTypeHolder<typename Container0::value_type::TypesPool>, Container0, Der ,Container1, Der, Container2, Der, Container3, Der>{
    public:

        typedef typename TriMesh::ScalarType		ScalarType;

The typedef for ScalarType gives VS error C4596:

error C4596: 'ScalarType': illegal qualified name in member declaration

The rest of the typedefs in TriMesh also make VS barf.

There is a new visual studio flag default in 2017. /permissive- is now the default over /permissive. With this default, code like the above will fail to compile, as it's not supposedly not compatible with the standard.

In my project, I'm in an environment where I can't change the permissive flag. Any suggestions?

Sorry, for the extra comment, but I have tried something like this:

template < class Container0 = DummyContainer, class Container1 = DummyContainer, class Container2 = DummyContainer, class Container3 = DummyContainer >
class TriMesh
    : public  MArity4<   BaseMeshTypeHolder<typename Container0::value_type::TypesPool>, Container0, Der ,Container1, Der, Container2, Der, Container3, Der>{
    public:

		typedef typename BaseMeshTypeHolder<typename Container0::value_type::TypesPool> CONT;
		
        typedef typename CONT::VertexType::ScalarType		ScalarType;
        typedef typename CONT::VertContainer VertContainer;
        typedef typename CONT::EdgeContainer EdgeContainer;
        typedef typename CONT::FaceContainer FaceContainer;

        // types for vertex
        typedef typename CONT::VertexType						VertexType;
        typedef typename CONT::VertexPointer					VertexPointer;
        typedef typename CONT::ConstVertexPointer		ConstVertexPointer;
        typedef typename VertexType::							CoordType;
        typedef typename CONT::VertexIterator				VertexIterator;
        typedef typename CONT::ConstVertexIterator		ConstVertexIterator;
...

VS 17 barfs on CoordType. Complaining it's based on bool, when I was using Coord3f in the typedef for my TriMesh.
