Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

The example in the bug report works on D1 and D2. I cannot reproduce the
error. I marked it as "worksforme"; if I've got the test case wrong
please reopen it.

My example is incorrect, sorry. b and c should be circularly imported:

module a;

template Foo(int i)
{
    static this()
    {
    }
}

void main() { }
----

module b;

import a;
import c;

alias Foo!(1) foo;
----

module c;

import a;
import b;

alias Foo!(2) foo;
----
Error: circular initialization dependency with module b

Following the logic that Foo is not a mixin template, I hoped to cheat 
the compiler so that the static constructors ran during a's 
initialization, avoiding the circular dependency error. I was wrong.

Still looking for a solution. Basically, there should be a way to enable 
the following:

module a;

template Foo()
{
    static int a;
    static this()
    {
       a = 42;
    }
}

----
module b;
import c;
import a;

mixin Foo;

----
module c;
import b;
import a;

mixin Foo;
