1) This error appears only if X is a template class.

static class X()
{
   static int a;
   static int b = a; // error here
}

void main() {
   X!() x;
}

gives:

bug1.d(4): non-constant expression a

2) This error appears only if Y is a template class and Y inherits from X.

static class X
{
   static class Y(): X
   {
     static class Z
     {
       Y.Z z; // error here
     }
   }
}

void main() {
   X.Y!().Z x;
}

gives:

bug2.d(7): identifier 'Z' of 'Y.Z' is not defined
bug2.d(7): Y.Z is used as a type
bug2.d(7): variable x.X.Y!().Y.Z.z voids have no value
bug2.d(13): template instance x.X.Y!() error instantiating


Maybe I dont understand something important in D templates?

static class X
{

{
static class Z
{
Y!().Z z;
}
}
}
void main() {
X.Y!().Z x;
}

will do the job :)

And for the first one, you have to use static this
to evaluate a "variable".

static class X()
{
static int a;
static int b;
static this() { b = a; }
}

cheers,
