if i have a outer class, and inside this outer class there are many inner classes.
do the inner classes in this outer class share any information with each other or are they just stand alone by themselves??

They stand by themselves, just as methods do. Just like no one method knows how the operates, each inner class doesn't know how the others work, only that they do if you choose to have them interact.

Although, I'm pretty sure InnerClasses share Instance Variables of the outerClass.

Yes you are right

class Abc
   private int nb;
...

   class Inner {
      void aMethod() {
          nb = 10;   // yes I can access my outer class variables
      }
   }
}
