Vim: turn on syntax highlighting of another type inside the syntax area?

Question

I use latex to type a lot of code using the minted package. Basically the layout of my latex source is as follows:

 ... text ... \begin{cppcode} class GenericClass{ public: int publicMember; private: int privateMember; } \end{cppcode} ... text ... 

Is there anyway to tell Vim to highlight the code inside \begin{cppcode} \end{cppcode }, as if it's C++ code?

yes you can - see this vim tip for details.
