[fpc-devel] Cannot Forward Declare a Generic Class

[Den]

Hi there,

     Is there a reason why I cannot forward declare a Generic Class?

TSomeClass<T> = Class;

TSomeOtherClass<T> = Class
   Obj : TSomeClass<T>;
End;

TSomeClass<T> = Class
End;

--------------------------------------------------

   Yes, I know I could put TSomeClass<T> inside TSomeOtherClass, but 
there are 2 other classes that back reference each other and it's quite 
the pain without being able to forward declare the Class.  Can this be 
implemented? I'm tired, so I may not be thinking of the implications of 
why.. I suppose I'll have to use some good ol' fashioned {$INCLUDE}'s 
inside the other class.
