I agree, but it's been somewhat difficult to unravel the terminology so far.
There doesn't really seem to be any master document defining it.
I'm an EE, so if this is standard CS jargon please forgive me.
inner refers to ->next
and outer refers to prev<-
The farther in, the younger your function call.
