thanks again, i also made tweaks to my original template to check 
for aliases and now it works too, means that error message was 
totally misleading.
btw i had read some articles about mixins and templates but still 
difference between template and mixin template is somewhat 
confusing.

and D states "intuitive is the way", yeah...
