I cannot cut that down. In a programm >20 files I had the error

Without giving filename and filenumber there was this message: | enum MyOwnEnum is forward referenced

Followed with multiple template errors, which compiled before and are not
affected in any way by the enum.:
| filename.d(16): template instance cannot resolve forward reference
....


After putting the enum in a seperate module and importing that, all compiles well.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?

Yeah, I've seen it ..
I have no idea why this occurs, seems very inconsistent .. and unexpected in D.

I hope that Walter consideres it a bug, not a feature; so that someday it might be fixed.
