OK. I don't understand the issue enough, but I'd like to help you.

- TemplateInstance::tinst may represent the enclosing template instance
that 'this' instance is instantiated. It is set in
TemplateInstance::semantic(|2|3) for its member's semantic process.

- TemplateInstance::enclosing may represent the parent of nested template
instance. If a template is instantiated in function scope with implicit
context, it points the function. It is set in
TemplateInstance::hasNestedArgs.

- Module::importedFrom may represents the "root module" of import chain. it
points one of the module that listed in command line.

Good luck.
