Thanks for your response, H.S.Teoh.

You need to specify both files on the command line, so that the

Running this from the command line produces (exactly?) the same

I tried swapping the order of the file names, but that didn't
help.
But before you can actually use the stuff in the other file,
that other
file needs to be compiled as well (the 'import' only imports
declarations; it doesn't actually compile the declared code),
and it
needs to be included in the linking stage so that all
references between
the source files can be linked properly.
Ah. I thought that the purpose of "rdmd" (as opposed to "dmd")
was to link the files automatically. Thanks.
