That's not static.... do `static uint xdim;` if you want it 
static (in this context, static means it is shared across all 
objects of the class)

grid = new Grid;
grid.xdim = 0;

holder = new Holder;
holder.xdim = 0;

those DO work if you declare the variable

auto grid = new Grid;
grid.xdim = 0;

auto holder = new Holder;
holder.xdim = 0;
