The following code does not compile.

import std.stdio;
interface A {
    public void a(int l);
}
class ACl:A {
    public void a(int l) {
        writeln("Hello a");
    }
}

interface B: public A {
    public void a(string l, int k);
}

class BCl: ACl, B {
    public void a(string l, int k) {
        writeln("Hello B.a", l, k);
    }
}


int main() {
    B b = new BCl();
    b.a(1);
    return 0;
}

However changing the second line of main() to (cast(A)b).a(1) makes it work.

If I'm not mistaked:
B b = new BCl();

means the object b has a static type B, and the dynamic type BCl. Which means you can only call methods defined by the B interface. This is probably discussed more in TDPL, but I'd have to check it again because I'm not sure..

Oh I see the problem now, B inherits from A, I missed that line.

Yeah the only way this compiles is if you use the A type:
A b = new BCl();
b.a(1);

I don't see why using a B object wouldn't work. Bug, i guess..
