I think you are confusing internalContext() and context(). context() is the 
context that surrounds a declaration, so for a global declaration "class Foo 
{};" the context is empty. The context you are creating for the class-content 
should have the same localScopeIdentifier as the class, which in your case 
is "Bar", and should be attached to the Declaration 
using "Declaration::setInternalContext". Then you can get the declaration 
from the context through "DUContext::owner()".

Hope this helped.
