The compiler failed to parse the template syntax in the line:
   Derived(int arg0 = Base<T0,T1>::var){}
which is a constructor definition of the class called Derived.
However, if we replace 'Base<T0,T1>' with an alias, the error no longer occurs:
   typedef Base<T0,T1> B
   Derived(int arg0 = B::var){}
If Base has three template arguments, the same errors occur. However, if Base has only one template argument, it is parsed correctly.
