This suggests that you simply `import ResourceManager;` in main.d.

Just `ResourceManager` is the module then.
`ResourceManager.ResourceManager` would be the class.
`ResourceManager.ResourceManager.LoadShader` would be the function.
And `ResourceManager.LoadShader` doesn't exist, as there is no symbol 
`LoadShader` at module scope.

Instead of using that long, repetitive name, you can use a selective 
import to have `ResourceManager` refer to the class instead of the 
module: `import ResourceManager: ResourceManager;`.

By the way, module names are all lower-case by convention, mainly to 
avoid problems with case-insensitive file systems. That means, the 
source file would usually be called resourcemanager.d or 
resource_manager.d. That would also avoid the name clash.

Also, a one-to-one relation between modules and classes is not usually 
followed in D. But if you want you can do that, of course.
