The two consts up there have exactly the same meaning: Even the first 
one qualifies the function (more correctly the implicit 'this' reference).

You want this:

     public ref const(Structure) getStructure() const {

          return structure;
      }
 }

 cannot implicitly convert expression (this.structure) of type
 const(Structure) to Structure
