I think this is planned for D 2.0, you will be able to put something 
like 'alias data this;' in the class.  Then you get the effect you want.

Maybe you could just use a template mixin to get the effect you want? 
Depends on what you're really trying to achieve, of course.

template Data {
     int val1;
     int val2;
}

class MyClass {
     mixin Data;
}
