package mixin template CLWrapper(T, alias g)
{
    package alias T CTypedontremovethis;
}

package struct CLObjectCollection(T)
{
    this(T.CTypedontremovethis)
    {
    }
}

alias CLObjectCollection!CLDevice CLDevices;

cl_errcode dontremovethis(
) {}


struct CLDevice
{
    mixin CLWrapper!(int, dontremovethis);
}

device.d(21): Error: mixin device.CLDevice.CLWrapper!(int,dontremovethis)
forward reference of dontremovethis
device.d(13): Error: template instance device.CLObjectCollection!(CLDevice)
error instantiating

E.g. removing the CLObjectCollection stuff "solves" it even though it isn't related at all.

Tested on dmd git HEAD (6a90c4df): I couldn't compile the code snippet due to unrelated errors, so I inserted dummy definitions of cl_errcode and added a return statement to dontremovethis(). Here is the code I tested:

----
enum cl_errcode {A}

package mixin template CLWrapper(T, alias g)
{
    package alias T CTypedontremovethis;
}

package struct CLObjectCollection(T)
{
    this(T.CTypedontremovethis)
    {
    }
}

alias CLObjectCollection!CLDevice CLDevices;

cl_errcode dontremovethis(
) { return cl_errcode.A; }


struct CLDevice
{
    mixin CLWrapper!(int, dontremovethis);
}
----

DMD git HEAD seems to be capable of compiling this correctly now, so I'm resolving this bug. Please reopen and post failing code if it still doesn't work for you. Thanks!
