Thanks for your reply.

"somthingToAlias" could be anything right? Lets suppose foo.bar1 or foo.bar2. Then "static Test!(foo.bar1)[] myarray;" would create an array only for elements instantiated from foo.bar1 and i couldn't append an element instantiated from foo.bar2, am i wrong?

1) Then how could i create an array for generic instantiated elements?

2) "void Foo(Test!(somthingToAlias) { }", i think something is missing:

- ")".
- A variable name, (correct me if wrong): void Foo(Test!(somthingToAlias)  sta){ }

Thanks in advance.
