The point here is that person1 and person2 are not instances of the same 
type, try compiling the following snippet:

---
struct Human {
    string name;
    int age;
}

void main() {
    Human person1;

    typedef Human Mankind;
    Mankind person2 = person1;
}

This might not be what Hamad wanted to know when he asked »but why that 
code works«, but I could think of no other reason why the snipped he 
posted should fail to compile.
