In test.d:

class Foo
{
   protected int bar;
}


In main.d:

import test;
class Bar: Foo
{
   this()
   {
      //Foo.bar = 2; // class Foo member bar is not accessible
      bar = 2; // Works
   }
}


The commented assignment should work but doesn't.

The compiler is griping (I think) because it thinks you're trying to assign to a static member of Foo. You can do this: class Bar: Foo { this() { super.bar = 2; } }

I don't think so. This is a recently added feature. It lets you access one of the base's [instance] members since super can't work past one level.
