inner1 is top-level nested class, if marked static. In the example portrayed by you, it is a regular inner class.

Right,
Actually when the inner classes are marked static, they no longer remain inner classes, infact they can be treated just like a top level class, but since they are inside another class, they are also nested class.
so a static inner class is called Top Level Nested class.
