It's not that simple.  There are two searches, one at the point of definition 
and another at the point of instantiation.  One way to read this is that in my 
little example, the first search finds the "f" that's defined there.  Since 
there has been no instantiation of g, the second search is never performed in 
the little example.  In the testcase, the required definition of "get" shows 
up before the point of instantiation.

Incidentally, not only ICC6 but also EDG's latest compiler accepts this code 
(http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout).  EDG's Steve Adamczyk is sometimes 
known as "Mr. name lookup", so maybe you should ask him.
