Encoder.cpp inherits from CounterBase, so variables and constants defined in CounterBase can be referenced from within the Encoder without the need for explicit namespace references.

Your code, however, was presumably in an object which was not inheriting from CounterBase, so the explicit references are needed so the compiler knows where to find the value for k1X, k2X, k4X, etc...
