Why are the errors happening? What's the problem? Why is it 
`currentclass.importedclass` instead of simply the imported 
class?

You can't give a class the same name as the file it's in. If you 
do, then when you try to use it from another file, the compiler 
will get confused and think you're referring to the file instead 
of the class (that's what "import is used as a type" means).

The easiest way around this is to change the name of the file to 
lower case. So, for example, you could change the name of the 
file with the `Unit` class in it to `unit.d`, and then write 
`import unit;` to access it from your other files.
