I compiled 

dmd hello.d Word.d -v

Both files were parsed.

dmd hello.o Word.d -v

Word.d was parsed.

dmd hello.d Word.o -v

Only hello.d was parsed.

Then I did:  dmd hello.o Word.o -v

All I got was an expanded command line.

It looks like the object files are passed to the linker no matter when they were generated.
