The following seems to me a perfectly valid code, but VA 10.4.1618 under MSVC 8 does not seem to agree, and underscores the 'Y' (the class name) as an unrecognized symbol:
class X { class Y* y; };
Was that already known?
Thanks.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

I was not aware you could do that, but it compiles quite happily. For now I would suggest separating out the forward declaration. Personally I think that makes the code easier to follow, but that is also what I am used to seeing
Forward declaration and use in the same statement
