Okay, so say I have the following

class TestClass
{
  public string stringa
  class NestedClass
  {
    public string stringb
  }
}

If I declare a variable as TestClass, can I access both the NestedClass variables and the TestClass variables, or do I need to specify both a variable for TestClass and a variable for TestClass.NestedClass? (hope that makes some sense)

nope. You need to actually have an instance of NestedClass within TestClass, like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

class TestClass
{
  public string stringa
  class NestedClass
  {
    public string stringb
  }
  public NestedClass nc;
}

Then if you had an instance of TestClass called "tc", you could do things like:
tc.nc.stringb="Foo";
