In implementing SDC I find myself asking these questions, and I wish to try and
put and end to DMD being the sole definer of semantics; just letting you know
the reason for this and subsequent bug reports.

Given a series of with statements:

    with (a) with (b) with (c) {
        d();
    }

If all three objects have a method d(), then c gets called. Obviously the with
statements are considered in a LIFO order, and the sentence

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/statement.html#WithStatement
"Use of with object symbols that shadow local symbols with the same identifier
are not allowed. "

does not apply here. Neither is documented behaviour, and the only to figure
out how D behaves is to run DMD.
