Store reference to namespace instead of type

Say I have a namespace like so:

export namespace Foo1 
 export namespace Foo2 
 export namespace Foo3 
 export interface Foo4 
 export interface Foo5

in a .ts file I have something like this:

import Foo1 from './foo';

const bar1 = function()
 type t = Foo1.Foo2.Foo3.Foo4;


const bar2 = function()
 type t = Foo1.Foo2.Foo3.Foo5;

this can get kinda verbose, I am looking to do something like this instead:

import Foo1 from './foo';

type Foo3 = Foo1.Foo2.Foo3; // <<< this don't work, I get an error explained below

const bar1 = function()
 type t = Foo3.Foo4;


const bar2 = function()
 type t = Foo3.Foo5;

but I can't seem to store a reference to a namespace, I can only store a reference to a type? (The error I get is that namespace Foo2 has no exported member Foo3).

I tried it like this and it works

 namespace Shapes 
 export namespace Polygons 
 export namespace Square 
 export interface Foo4 

 

 export namespace Triangle 
 export interface Foo5 
 
 



import polygons = Shapes.Polygons;

type myType = polygons.Square.Foo4;

export class myClass implements polygons.Square.Foo4
 myFoo4 = 'Foo4';




const myFooInstance = new myClass();

console.log(myFooInstance.myFoo4);
