Templates are way lazy. Is this expected behaviour?

Yes.

But there is a way of unhiding it. Just give the mixin instantiation a name.

    module main;

    import std.stdio;
    import other;

    class Something {
       char[] nameX = "main";
    }

    mixin Foo!() foo;

   void main() {
       writefln("%s", foo.something.name);
    }
