good stuff

// ok to alias a List Type
using AliasStringList = System.Collections.Generic.List<string>;

// and ok to alias a List of Lists like this
using AliasListOfStringList1 = System.Collections.Generic.List<System.Collections.Generic.List<string>>;

bad stuff

// However **error** to alias another alias
using AliasListOfStringList2 = System.Collections.Generic.List<AliasStringList>;

Produces the compile error

The type or namespace name 'AliasStringList' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
