I think it should be like this:

Context  "" [ (0, 0)  ->  (23, 0) ]   top-context 
 Context  "Bar" id 0x1 [ (0, 0)  ->  (2, 1) ] 
 Declaration "Bar" (internal ctx 0x1)

So the context "Bar" and declaration "Bar" are connected through 
the "Context::owner()" and "Declaration::internalContext()" relationship, and 
they both have the top-context as parent context.

So the second is true. Yes it is very different that for functions, there is 
only one context for the class-body, with the correct localScopeIdentifier. 
That's needed, so members of classes can be addressed. For functions, the 
function-body probably just doesn't have a localScopeIdentifier because it 
doesn't matter, you don't need to address variables declared in a function 
from outside.
