Can we create an object of the inner class in the constructor of the outer class?

Yes it's legal to construct an inner class in constructor of outer class. For example:

public class Outer {
    private Inner myInner;

    public Outer() {
        myInner = new Inner();
    }

    public class Inner {

    }
}

Have a read through the Sun Nested Classes Tutorial.

Sure.

public class Outer
{
    public Outer()
    {
        Inner inner = new Inner();
    }

    class Inner
    {
    }
}

If I understand you correctly, then yes, if your using composition.

psudeo-code example:

public class Inner(){
  //code
}

public class Outer(){
   Inner foo;

   public Outer() {
      this.foo = new Inner();
   }

}
