OK, I understand that a specific language may not handle this type of declaration hiding. However, does it make more sense to put the smarts for this in the UML editor, or in the code generation? Just my $0.02, the smarts for different languages should be in the I/O for the particular language, not burried in the more generic UML editor. (Some languages don't handle enums or for that matter namespaces, but that doesn't mean we leave them out of the UML diagrams.) 

I think umbrello is a great tool, and getting better all the time, allowing this type of (IMHO) just another increment towards being the best.
