<p>In contrast to inner classes in pure Java, a role class may indeed define static methods. A static role method requires no
role
instance <em>but</em> it still requires a team instance in scope. Static role methods can be called:
</p>
<ul>
<li>from the enclosing team,</li>
<li>via callin (see <a href="s4.7.html" title="&sect;4.7&nbsp;Callin binding with static methods"
class="sect">&sect;4.7</a>).
</li>
</ul>
<p>Within a static role method the syntax <code>MyTeam.this</code> is available for accessing the enclosing team instance.
