Sorry, I should have been clearer. This is exactly the code that doesn't work for
me, with no namespace qualification of 'bind'. 

I'm guessing that the use of a Boost.Function as an argument to bind causes the
bind in the boost namespace to be considered, as well the bind in the boost::lambda
namespace which is considered because of the use of Boost.Lambda placeholders.

I just can't think of a tidy solution.

Thx

    std::vector<X> v;

    boost::function<int(int, int)> my_sum = bind( sum, x, y );

    std::accumulate( boost::begin( v ), boost::end( v ), 0, bind( my_sum, x, bind( &X::f, y ) ) );
}
