From TDPL, page 231:

"A class could introduce any number of alias this declarations, thus subtyping any number of types."

Let's test this:

class A{}
class B{}
class C{
    A a;
    B b;
    alias a this;
    alias b this;
}

Error: alias this there can be only one alias this

(I think that error message has a very nice humorous touch!)

The same applies to structs.

It's a well-known issue. alias this really isn't fully implemented yet and has lots of bugs to be ironed out. The lack of ability to have more than one alias this is one of them. I'm not sure that there's a bug report on it though, so it's good to have a placeholder for the issue.
