It's probably well known issue:

$ cat test.d
import test2;
 
class X {
        Y.NY t;
        static class NX {
        }
}
 
 
$ cat test2.d
import test;
 
class Y {
        X.NX nx;
        static class NY {
        }
}
 
 
$ dmd -c test2.d test.d
test2.d(3): class test2.Y is forward referenced when looking for 'NY'
test2.d(3): class test2.Y is forward referenced when looking for 'NY'
(...)
 
dpc at empire:~/stg/tmp$ dmd -c test.d test2.d
test.d(3): class test.X is forward referenced when looking for 'NX'
test.d(3): class test.X is forward referenced when looking for 'NX'
(...)


What I'd like to ask is: "How should I consider this?" to know what should
do with this problem in my code.
A) it's not a bug - it's just little limitation - things shall stay like
this;
B) it an issue, but it will not be fixed sooner than > 1.0;
C) stay tuned, it surly be ready sooner than 1.0;
D) it's fixed already - wait for 0.150 or maybe just little longer.
E) you n00b! you can resolve this already without code modification by
doing: (...);

Thanks,
Dawid
