Can you post some more code that exhibits exactly the behaviour 
you're describing? I can't replicate the problem you're having 
with the code you provided (nor the code *I* provided).

They're semantically equivalent. The first form is just shorthand 
for the second.

What you're doing here is pretty weird. That code is equivalent 
to:

template Group(alias G1)
{
     template Group(alias G2)
     {
         void Group(int s)
         {
             writeln(s);
         }
     }
}

And I really have no idea how it *should* behave. It definitely 
doesn't work on dpaste.dzfl.pl.
