I tend to run into forward referencing issues all the time 
"declarative" metaprogramming, i.e. when generating some code 
based on existing symbols and their attributes (e.g. 
serialization, RPC, …). Manu IIRC also has some related war 
stories to tell.

Granted, it's not the directly the same as two ifs next to each 
other conflicting (you mostly get dependencies via 
__traits(allMembers, …) and so on), but whatever forward 
reference resolution mechanism we choose must be able to handle 
both the same.
