An enum type cannot be forward-referenced at either global or class scope.

----------
D3DTRANSFORMSTATETYPE D3DTS_WORLDMATRIX(int index) {
        return index + 256;
}

enum : D3DTRANSFORMSTATETYPE {
        D3DTS_WORLD = 256,
        D3DTS_WORLD1,
        D3DTS_WORLD2,
        D3DTS_WORLD3
}

enum D3DTRANSFORMSTATETYPE {
        D3DTS_VIEW         =  2,
        D3DTS_PROJECTION,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE0     = 16,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE1,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE2,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE3,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE4,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE5,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE6,
        D3DTS_TEXTURE7, // = 23
        D3DTS_FORCE_DWORD  = 0xffffffff
}

enum D3DTRANSFORMSTATETYPE is forward referenced

I've established that the function triggers the error message, and the use as
an enum base triggers the IPF.  Various other uses, such as declaring a global
variable or constant of the enum type, also trigger the error message.  Some of
them have tests in DStress under enum_* and forward_reference_*, but none I can
find at the moment are for the cases of the above example.
