[J3] Is this standard-conforming?

It absolutely is, no question about it.

And indeed, it does not appear in any of the contexts described in 16.5.1.4 that cause the host entity of that name to be inaccessible.  So that rule is satisfied.

And indeed, it does *not* appear in the scoping unit in a parameter statement; the only specification statement it appears in *In The Scoping Unit* is the IMPORT statement.  Here, “the” scoping unit is the scoping unit we’re talking about (which is the interface body), and the main program is “the host” scoping unit.

 

Therefore the host entity c_name is accessible, no question about it.
