class scope bug in g++ 2.95

Thanks for your bug report. This is not a bug in g++, but a bug in
your code. According to ISO C++, a name used in as a parameter type
must be declared before its use (3.4.1/8). If reordering of class
members yields an alternative valid program, the program is
ill-formed, no diagnostic required (3.3.6/1,3). This is the case with
your code.
