When compiling a bunch of interdependant modules, sometimes some very strange things occur.  Things like the compiler stating that methods of a class do not have access to its own public members, or link errors for things that are being linked in.

Passing the source files to dmd in a different order has a way of helping matters.

I don't doubt that these things will be dealt with in due time; what I'm wondering is simply if anybody has found any kind of coherent pattern, or a consistent way to work around these issues.

Yes, I have reported an error like this before. It is similar to your problems.

Later I found that it did not matter if I complied the
sources into a library.  Linking the objs separately
caused a problem where as compiling the D files togeter
on the same command line works ok.

If they can be isolated down, I can fix them. In the meantime, compile separately, which should work.
