This is a problem on which I stumble regularly.

Some packages are inside UPP namespace, some have they're own namespace, some don't have any namespace at all and some have 'using namespace Upp;' in they're headers !!
This leads to name clashes and ambiguous problems when using some packages or when including external resource code.

I think their should be some recommendations on how to correctly manage this (if you wan't you're package to be usable by others of coarse ), like the following:

always put code inside namespace Upp ( at least for classes meant to be used by other packages )
Never put 'using namespace xxx;' inside headers
