My opinion is a qualified "yes". There are some degenerate cases that we might want to deal with: package p; typedef p::T2 T; typedef T T2; endpackage This falls into some of my ramblings about "type completeness" at various points. Obviously some kind of circular type error exists, but how do we talk about that? But for normal situations (such as Francoise's example in in Mantis 1546) and even forward data references, I don't see any problems in terms of implementation.
