A "defun" in Emacs is not the same thing as a function definition
(or class definition).

    class C {
      void foo() {
      }
    }

has two nested definitions, but only the outermost one counts as a
defun in Emacs parlance.

A defun is a construct which is top-level, or appears locally to be.
In Lisp that usually means an open-paren in column 0.  In some other
languages, there are other ways to find defuns.

Doing it that way might be ok.  At any rate, no disaster.  But it
leaves the question, should we really try to support nested defuns?
It is a can of worms.
