#m.f
module m.f;
string t(alias cls, string method)() {
     import std.traits;
     static if (isSomeFunction!(__traits(getMember, cls, method))) 
{}
     return "";
}

But when I put content from m.f into main.d everything works ok. 
Or even when I change __traits(getMember, cls, method) to cls.m 
everything works, but even with mixin it doesnt work 
(mixin("cls.m"))

The compiler is trying to construct type A. The first thing it 
sees is a need to get the members of the class. What members are 
in the class? "I don't know I'm trying to mix one in right now!"

That said, there may be away around it so you can search bugzilla 
and file an improvement to see the response.

Yes, this make sense. But why it is not a problem when 't' 
template is in the same file.
